When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...
A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...
In the classical world, a beam of light is a smooth, continuous wave. In the quantum realm, however, photons manifest as the discrete constituents (quanta) of light. These photons can be carefully ...
Classical optics, rooted in the laws of reflection and refraction that treat light as rays, has long provided a practical framework for imaging and illumination. By contrast, physical optics delves ...
Once thought to be sailors’ myths, rogue waves gained credibility after a towering 80-foot wall of water struck the Draupner oil platform in 1995. New research shows that these extreme waves don’t ...
