How do we know the speed of light – and why does it have a speed limit at all? Leah Crane explores the history of one of the ...

Theoretical physicist Alex Lupsasca is pushing for a space telescope to glimpse the thin ring of light that is thought to surround every black hole.

What would it really take to travel at or beyond the speed of light? In this video, we break down the hard physics Hollywood skips: why nothing with mass can reach light speed, how energy needs ...

Scientists have uncovered how close we can get to perfect optical precision using AI, despite the physical limitations imposed by light itself. By combining physics theory with neural networks trained ...

As someone who studies materials, Lu Li knows people want to hear about the exciting new applications and technologies his ...

Can we reveal objects that are hidden in environments completely opaque to the human eye? With conventional imaging techniques, the answer is no: a dense cloud or layer of material blocks light so ...
