A research group from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology reports in Nature an unprecedented achievement in electron ...

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.

Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have measured “dark points” inside light waves that appear to ...

Dark structures inside light waves can briefly move faster than light without breaking relativity or transmitting energy or information.

A spacecraft traveling at 99 percent the speed of light toward Alpha Centauri would cross 4.3 light-years in what feels like ...

The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light moves through space at a constant speed has supported some of physics’ most ...

Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...

University of Adelaide applied mathematicians have extended Einstein’s theory of special relativity to work beyond the speed of light. Einstein’s theory holds that nothing could move faster than the ...
