New research reveals light's magnetic field directly influences matter, causing scientists to rethink the 'Faraday Effect.' ...

The effect, first predicted over 60 years ago and regarding objects traveling near the speed of light, has been lent support ...

They recreate how a camera would see objects traveling at 99.9% of the speed of light, revealing surprising relativistic ...

Scientists have discovered that light’s long-ignored magnetic field may directly drive the Faraday effect.

TL;DR: This experiment may not revolutionize telecommunications, but it highlights how accessible these concepts have become outside traditional research labs. Using nothing more than an iPad, a solar ...

Highly anticipated: Scientists at the University of Arizona have demonstrated a method to capture and manipulate quantum uncertainty in real time using rapid pulses of light, marking what they ...

I tried a series of amazing light experiments to explore reflections, refractions, and optical illusions, showing just how fun and surprising light can be. Donald Trump announces second military ...

Scientists have created contact lenses that they claim allow people to see in the dark with the help of infrared light, an invention that could allow colorblind people to see colors again, or spies to ...

The idea was first hypothesized about 70 years ago. In a bizarre repercussion of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, objects traveling close to the speed of light appear flipped over. The ...

An experiment seven years in the making has uncovered new insights into the nature of consciousness and challenges two prominent, competing scientific theories: Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and ...

An unprecedented brain study has delivered fresh clues about consciousness—suggesting it's more about perception than planning. Two leading theories went head-to-head, but neither emerged victorious.
