Scientists have created a new class of laser beam that appears to violate long-held laws of light physics. These new beams, which the team calls “spacetime wave packets,” follow different rules of ...

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – We’re almost to spring, so it might be a good time to refresh your memory of all things Science Central has to offer. Between experiments and various exhibits, there’s ...

WXMI — In our science experiment today, we look at a disappearing coin trick, which really is no trick at all. It illustrates density and refraction. Some things are more dense (or heavier) than other ...

THIS is the third part of a course of practical physics, the two previous ones dealing with heat and general physics. A fourth part, on electricity and magnetism, will complete the work. The optical ...

This film demonstrates the measurement of the speed of light in both air and water using experimental setups. The first experiment involves measuring the time it takes for light to travel a known ...

What looks like magic is often just a rule of physics or chemistry doing its job. Invisible ink turning brown, colours swirling on milk, water climbing uphill — it all feels like sorcery until you ...

Physicists are involved in an unusually heated debate over the reality of a new kind of refraction and about the possibility of making perfect lenses. Edwin Cartlidge reports. If you think science is ...
