A plasma experiment succeeded in twisting light-like waves, and revealed a new, previously unknown rule of extreme physics.

And an international team of physicists appears to have found just such a loophole: the only thing that goes faster than light, it turns out, is darkness. More specifically, individual dark spots ...

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

Physicists have experimentally confirmed a strange prediction: the dark “holes” inside light waves can appear to move faster ...
