When an intense laser pulse hits a stationary electron, it performs a trembling motion at the frequency of the light field.

Yet according to physics, information is never destroyed. In principle, a burned book is just as readable as the original—if ...

Scientists have achieved negative time in quantum experiment where light exits materials before entering, revealing new ...

The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit ...

Phonons are sound particles or quantized vibrations of atoms in solid materials. The Debye model, a theory introduced by ...

We trust external observation over introspection, but we have it backward. When the brain observes itself, we access physical ...

Kellogg Stelle was a professor of physics at Imperial College London for decades until his death last month. In 1977, he developed a particle theory of gravity that’s renormalizable, but the theory’s ...

In lead collisions at the LHC, some of the strongest electromagnetic fields in the universe bombard the inside of the beam ...

Researchers are using black hole “shadow” images to test whether Einstein’s relativity remains unshakable. With next-generation telescopes, they hope to spot telltale signs of alternative physics ...

Physicists developed a method to test Einstein’s general relativity precisely where black hole shadow images reveal potential differences under alternative gravity theories. This simulation explores ...

How many times have you said, “I wish the days were longer”? Well, NASA scientists say the construction of China’s Three ...
