Physicists are no longer content to simply listen to ripples in spacetime. A new proposal sketches out how an exquisitely ...

A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...

Artificial intelligence is colliding with a hard physical limit: the energy and heat of today’s silicon-based chips. As ...

Tiny waves, big implications: Electron microscope image of the superfluid wave tank used in the experiments (blue) coupled to an optical fibre which brings laser light in and out of the device. The ...

NASA scientists are reshaping the basic understanding of a type of wave in space known as a kinetic Alfvén wave. When NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale -- or MMS -- mission was launched, the scientists ...

On September 14, 2015, at 3:50 AM Central time, a tiny vibration shuddered down the 2.5-mile-long arms of a massive machine in Livingston, Louisiana. A fraction of a second later, a similar vibration ...

The classic signature of wave-particle duality in quantum particles is the wave-like interference pattern that is produced when a beam of particles passes through a ‘double-slit’. Researchers have ...

At the heart of every camera is a sensor, whether that sensor is a collection of light-detecting pixels or a strip of ...

Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave. The way light behaves can seem very counterintuitive, and many physicists would agree with that, but once you ...
