As the Olympics get going in earnest this week, not everyone's attention is focused on the host city, Paris. Surf fans are heading to Tahiti, which is half a world away in French Polynesia. Why? Well, ...

Researchers using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) have identified a vibrant, ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

Schrödinger dynamics inspired novel wave physics explorations, including symmetry design, Floquet topology, adiabatic pumping, non-Hermitian dynamics, non-Abelian physics and nonlinear phenomena. In a ...

Physicists are no longer content to simply listen to ripples in spacetime. A new proposal sketches out how an exquisitely tuned laser experiment could, in principle, nudge gravitational waves ...

Scientists have detected a strange new type of high-frequency wave on the sun's surface, and the waves are moving three times faster than scientists thought was possible. Scientists can't see into the ...

While the concept of time travel has long captured public imagination, modern physics actually approaches time in a much more subtle manner. Instead o.

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...
