“If you wanted to take a picture of the rocket as it flew past, you would have to take into account that the light from ...

Previous models explored the illusion, but this is the first time it has been actually recreated in a lab setting.

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical ...

The footage clearly shows the process of fueling and controlling the plasma. A bright pink glow is visible from the injection ...

The speed of light is a fundamental constant, approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. It's the same for all observers and hasn't changed measurably over billions of years. Nothing can travel ...

A pair of orbiting black holes millions of times the Sun’s mass perform a hypnotic pas de deux in a new NASA visualization. The movie traces how the black holes distort and redirect light emanating ...

Researchers at the University of Ottawa, in collaboration with Danilo Zia and Fabio Sciarrino from the Sapienza University of Rome, recently demonstrated a novel technique that allows the ...

Researchers have found a way to mimic lightspeed when photographing an object. The method involves stitching together many thin “slices” of light reflecting off the object. Photography—itself a ...
