What happens when you travel close to the speed of light? Discover the real physics behind time dilation, where your clock ticks slower than Earth's. We explore how the universe visually warps for a ...

Nothing with mass can travel faster than light — and black holes don’t change that. But around rotating black holes exists a ...

Explore the multifaceted concept of the prism, illustrating how it reflects the interplay between perception, light, and ...

Black holes are among the most fascinating and enigmatic objects in the universe. Born from collapsed stars and governed by ...

Giant atoms, artificial atoms larger than the interacting wavelength of light, exhibit decoherence-free behavior, but what ...

Bright patches of light, known as sun dogs, appear when sunlight bends through hexagonal ice crystals in high-altitude clouds. These dazzling displays ...

Santa Claus is not breaking the law. He is just using Einstein's physics to bend the rules of time and deliver presents to ...

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

Astronomers have directly observed a spinning black hole twisting spacetime, confirming a century-old prediction of ...

Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...

An astronaut on the ISS photographed a "lunar halo" over the Indian Ocean, revealing ice and rare optical phenomena from ...

In physics, breakthroughs are rare. Experiments are slow, expensive and often end up refining, rather than rewriting, our understanding of the universe. But what if the only constraint on scientific ...
