In this video, I show you how to create your own rainbow using just a glass of water, a flashlight, and a piece of white ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

You’re walking through town, juggling your keys and your phone, and a pigeon just strolls across your path like you’re in its ...

In modern society, physical inactivity and sedentary behavior have become common issues globally. This trend is also growing ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run in a world powered purely by imagination ...

Attoseconds, the billionths of a billionth of a second, are the shortest flashes of light ever created. Now, scientists have figured out how to focus them. A team from the Max Born Institute (MBI) in ...

TL;DR: This experiment may not revolutionize telecommunications, but it highlights how accessible these concepts have become outside traditional research labs. Using nothing more than an iPad, a solar ...
