Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

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 ...

Now, adding a twisting laser beam that interacts with these electrons makes things even more complicated. And in that ...

Everyone is familiar with the light dome that shows from afar where cities are brightly lit at night. Artificial light that is scattered in the atmosphere and brightens the night sky can have an ...

In this month’s Weather Experiment Wednesday, Discovery Lab Senior Education Manager Micah Firestone showed us how to harness UV light to create images on special paper. This cyanotide activity ...

Scientists observe a visible time crystal for the first time, revealing a phase of matter that repeats patterns through time.

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out that if you manipulate a laser just right, then hit it side-on with another ...

Much of what we know about plant circadian rhythms is the result of laboratory experiments where inputs such as light and temperature can be tightly controlled. Less is known about how these ...
