A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

For this project I show how to make make a pendulum wave, an interesting science/physics experiment where a series of pendulums is measured so that each one moves slightly faster than the one before ...

Researchers at the LIGO gravitational wave observatory used a new technique called frequency-dependent squeezing to boost weak signals above quantum noise. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

This is read by an automated voice. Please report any issues or inconsistencies here. The first onshore wave energy project in the U.S. launched at Port of Los Angeles. It produces little power yet, ...

Tiny waves, big implications: Electron microscope image of the superfluid wave tank used in the experiments (blue) coupled to an optical fibre which brings laser light in and out of the device. The ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

Scientists are engineering electromagnetic waves to retrace their temporal paths, a breakthrough in wave physics. This 'time ...
