Since Einstein, physicists have found that certain entities can reach superluminal (that means "faster-than-light") speeds and still follow the cosmic rules laid down by special relativity.

A persistent group of scientists at the University of Warsaw have accomplished the impossible by creating a hologram of a solitary particle of light, reports Business Insider.

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

For two centuries, students have learned that heat flows and engines work according to rigid limits that no machine can beat.

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...
