Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), together with collaborators ...

Oxford scientists have simulated light interacting with “empty” space—a strange quantum effect that sounds like science fiction but is rooted in real physics. Incredibly, the simulation shows light ...

To test the limits, the researchers started by firing a powerful, ultrafast laser into the side of a volunteer’s head. The ...

Dark matter "lampshades" could slip between Earth and distant stars, causing tiny amounts of dimming that may help explain one of the greatest puzzles in science.

Empty spaces in the dark only appear to be complete voids. Even intergalactic space (in the absence of dust particles) has a ...

Physicists prove long-held theory light can be made from nothingness of vacuum - Researchers say simulation experiment may ...

A prism is a 3D shape where both ends are the same size ... Now that the spectroscope is ready, let’s do some experiments. How do different light sources affect a spectroscope? One really interesting ...

We present the mechanical design for a light-weight, energy-efficient robot named ... We show a real-world prototype of PRISM and perform several manipulation experiments with it.

The rainbow showed up because of something called prism refraction ... going to be asking for more rainbows after this! I love hands on experiments that really drive home a concept. Light refraction ...

Bose’s double prism experiment was described in standard textbooks worldwide ... of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1998 brought to light Bose’s works on the radio, ...
