Physicists have taken a step that sounds like science fiction: they have coaxed light into behaving as a “supersolid,” a ...

The film explores the properties of light, including reflection and refraction, through various experiments. It demonstrates how light travels in straight lines, how mirrors can reflect images, and ...

Topological insulators are one of the most puzzling quantum materials - a class of materials whose electrons cooperate in surprising ways to produce unexpected properties. The edges of a TI are ...

Plasma could be wrangled to collide photons and yield matter, according to physicists who ran simulations to explore the practical applications of a world-famous equation. The equation at work here is ...

Researchers have discovered that light can possess a new property, self-torque. This discovery could open up exciting possibilities in light-related applications, researchers explain in a related ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...
