A research group from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology reports in Nature an unprecedented achievement in electron microscopy: the direct measurement of “dark points” within light waves. By ...

Dark zeros in a wave field shift faster than light in a Technion experiment, revealing rapid pattern changes that preserve relativity.

Albert Einstein famously discovered that nothing with mass, not even supersonic sound, is faster than the speed of light. For over a century we have operated with this belief. But, in reality, we’ve ...

The possibility of traveling faster than light raises one of the most ambitious questions in space exploration. Whether ...

A team of physicists has filmed something that should not be possible: tiny points of pure darkness moving faster than light, frame by frame, in real time. The discovery sounds like science fiction, ...

A dark point inside a wave of light sounds like a contradiction. It is also something researchers say they have now viewed in real time, moving so quickly that, by one measure, it outran light itself.

For the first time, physicists have observed that 'holes' in light can move faster than the light itself. They're known as phase singularities or optical vortices, and since the 1970s, scientists have ...

Al is a long time tech writer with a penchant for all things nerdy. While he writes for Gadget Review, he manages a team of review writers, ensuring their content is nothing short of perfect. Al is a ...

A dark point inside a beam of light should not be much of a traveler. Yet in a new experiment, some of those points appeared to move faster than light itself, darting through a wave field before ...
