Gravitational waves are energy-carrying waves produced by the acceleration or disturbance of massive objects. These waves, ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive measurements achieved by ...

This review discusses the impact of non-Hermitian physics on optics, revealing new possibilities in wave control and addressing fundamental performance limits.

Whether it is salt flats in Bolivia or rock formations in Arizona, nature never ceases to amaze.

Our Milky Way galaxy never sits still: it rotates and wobbles. And now, data from the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope reveal that our galaxy also has a giant wave rippling outwards from ...

Some things we see in space appear to outpace light. Now we are learning to harness these bizarre optical illusions to ...

Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) will see the heat wave continue, and then break. Monday will be hot and dry, mainly in the inland areas and in the mountains. The heat load will be moderate to ...

The anti-aging product market was worth roughly 53 BILLION dollars in 2024. One of the latest big trends: red light therapy. Social media is rampant with claims about ...

A rare phenomenon was caught on camera Wednesday morning by a photographer in Puerto Rico during a thunderstorm. Known as a gigantic jet, the phenomenon is a Transient Luminous Event (TLE) and appears ...

Abstract: Conical refraction (CR) is a phenomenon observed when light is transformed into a hollow slanted cone propagating along an optical axis of a biaxial crystal and emerges as a cylinder of ...

Researchers found a method to tune Dirac plasmon polaritons, paving the way for efficient terahertz devices that could revolutionize sensing, imaging, and computing. Ordinary light is limited by the ...
