A YouTube creator working out of his garage has engineered something that is normally found only in major research facilities ...

Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...

In the realm of physics, the speed of light is considered one of the most fundamental constants in the universe, dictating the structure of time and space as we know it. But what if this cornerstone ...

In 1999, a Danish physicist named Lene Hau did the unthinkable. She slowed the speed of light. It was a remarkable move that completely changed our idea of universal constants. Since then, Hau has ...

A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...
