For the first time, researchers measured singularities in combined light and sound waves moving faster than the speed of ...

Scientists experimentally confirmed what we’ve known to be true for half a century—darkness can “travel” faster than light.

These points of "complete darkness" inside light waves could be moving faster than light. The post Scientists Say They’ve ...

When I was a teenager, I was—shockingly, I know—deeply nerdy. At a science-fiction convention, I bought a button that read, “186,282 miles/second: Not just a good idea, it’s the law.” It was poking ...

Here is a thought experiment for you: imagine shining a powerful laser at the moon, the beam cutting through space until it lands on its dusty grey surface. Now flick the laser so the spot of light ...

A dark point inside a wave of light sounds like a contradiction. It is also something researchers say they have now viewed in ...

A research group from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology reports in Nature an unprecedented achievement in electron microscopy: the direct measurement of "dark points" within light waves. By ...
