In a groundbreaking discovery, physicists have observed light traveling in reverse, an event that significantly challenges ...

The speed of light, c, is not just a very large number. In modern physics it is a structural constant: the conversion factor ...

Scientists have uncovered how close we can get to perfect optical precision using AI, despite the physical limitations imposed by light itself. By combining physics theory with neural networks trained ...

Supriya Chakrabarti, Distinguished University Professor, Department of Physics and Applied Physics, University of Massachusetts Lowell and Director, Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology will ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

While many plans for quantum computers transmit data using the particles of light known as photons, researchers from the ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

The visible patterns produced by the time crystals could be used for data storage and anti-counterfeiting designs.

Focused laser-like light that covers a wide range of frequencies is highly desirable for many scientific studies and for many ...
