Back in 1943, in a workshop filled with ship parts and the hum of wartime, Richard James stumbled upon a fascinating ...

An international team of scientists has developed a new analysis of how sound waves behave, revealing surprising effects that ...

A plasma experiment succeeded in twisting light-like waves, and revealed a new, previously unknown rule of extreme physics.

Physicists at Peking University have uncovered a new way to confine light far beyond conventional limits — without relying on ...

Dark matter is an elusive form of matter that almost never emits, absorbs or reflects light, while only weakly interacting with regular matter. These properties make it very difficult to detect using ...

It isn't easy harnessing the power of waves in the sea to generate electricity, but a Spanish engineering firm is giving it ...

Physicists may have uncovered a surprising new clue that string theory—the idea that the universe is built from unimaginably tiny vibrating strings—could be more than just a mathematical fantasy.

On May 21, ground controllers powered down NASA’s AWE (Atmospheric Waves Experiment) instrument, bringing the data collection ...
