A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

High-precision measurements from the KATRIN experiment strongly limit the existence of light sterile neutrinos and narrow the search for new physics. Neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect, yet ...

I test a series of light experiments to explore reflection, refraction, and optical illusions, demonstrating how light ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew.

Teleportation has quietly shifted from pure fantasy to a working laboratory tool, and the latest experiments are starting to ...

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 ...

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly ...

From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run ...

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is estimated to account for most of ...

Observations of the formation of light-nuclei from high-energy collisions may help in the hunt for dark matter.

Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found evidence ...
