Quantum mechanics looks at how things work at the atomic and subatomic levels, where particles behave in ways that seem ...

At least 24 are dead, and girls are missing from a camp, in a catastrophic Texas flood Julian McMahon, ‘Fantastic Four,' ‘Nip ...

Fourth of July fun on the Northshore! Mandeville’s ‘Light Up the Lake’ fireworks show is lighting up the lakefront.

Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this ...

Scientists have discovered a centrosymmetric crystal that behaves as though it is chiral – absorbing left- and right-handed circularly-polarized light differently. This counterintuitive finding, from ...

Scientists say the phenomenon could “hint at” new particles or interactions between known particles that haven’t been ...

A new Oxford study shows how physicists made light emerge from “nothing,” offering rare insight into the hidden energy of ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

The nature of light has remained one of the most intriguing scientific challenges. Newton’s conjecture that light consists of particles was replaced by the wave theory of light pioneered by ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter.
