Electricity isn't just wires and outlets. Its history includes fake experiments, brutal PR wars, and vehicles that predate ...

After years of searching, scientists at the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have ruled out the possibility of the existence of a sterile neutrino, a hypothetical particle that had long ...

For centuries, most scientists have shared the belief that light behaves as both a wave and a particle. This idea, then, became the central component to quantum theory, sprouting the field of science ...

I test a series of light experiments to explore reflection, refraction, and optical illusions, demonstrating how light behaves in surprising and educational ways. Flight attendant 'found stabbed to ...

In 2017, I made the switch from news reporter to travel writer, and it's a decision that has changed my life in ways I simply wouldn't have the space and time to explain here. Since that day, I've ...

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism are related. A new study revealed that the magnetic component of light ...

NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe will continue its almost half-century of service by delivering yet another milestone: by this time next year, it should have reached a distance of 1 light-day from Earth.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Voyager 1 is one of humanity’s most poignant and remarkable ...

New experiments at CERN by an international team have ruled out a potential source of intergalactic magnetic fields. The existence of such fields is invoked to explain why we do not observe secondary ...

Another weekend shutdown will make drivers detour on southbound Interstate 405 near Renton, while shorter projects will detour some travelers on Bothell’s Highway 522, as well as some riders on Sound ...

In lead collisions at the LHC, some of the strongest electromagnetic fields in the universe bombard the inside of the beam pipe with radioactive gold. By following the collision fragments, John Jowett ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Recently, the James Webb Space Telescope observed signals that moved faster than the speed of light. Does this mean that faster-than-light travel is real? If not, what ...
