It measures about 15 miles (25 kilometres) in diameter and rotates 11 times every second, faster than a helicopter rotor.

Faster-than-light particles have spent decades in physics as both temptation and warning. They offered a way to test the ...

New observations from Jupiter have now provided direct confirmation of the process.

GENEVA (Reuters) - An international team of scientists said on Thursday they had recorded sub-atomic particles traveling faster than light -- a finding that could overturn one of Einstein's ...

Researchers exploring the interactions between light particles, photons and matter find that optical microresonators host quasiparticles made by two photons. Scientists at the University of Bath in ...

A new route for future dark matter searches The new approach to search for light dark matter introduced by this research team could soon be refined further and applied in real experiments. This recent ...

Discover 'ghostly' particles and quantum depletion. A new study makes the first observation of 'ghost particles' from Bose-Einstein condensates via 'quantum depletion': particles expelled by ...

Photons carry momentum, and the light-matter interaction can transfer the momentum from the photons to the object. The engineering of a laser beam using high numerical aperture (NA) objective can trap ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw, ETH in Zurich and the University of Cambridge have synthesized and analysed active microparticles self-propelling in a fluid and ...
