Scientists for the first time managed to simulate what objects moving near the speed of light looked like, in an optical ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical ...

Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly enough, they can also briefly borrow their energy from empty space. The haziness ...

A new optical illusion on Reddit challenges viewers to find a well-camouflaged frog among pebbles and shrubs in just 10 seconds. Optical illusions are a great way to test your brain’s comprehension ...

By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

Some things we see in space appear to outpace light. Now we are learning to harness these bizarre optical illusions to ...

They used a nanoscale particle made of glass levitated in a vacuum and cooled it to the lowest possible energy level to reduce its uncertainty. After making sure its trapping potential was optimally ...

An international collaboration has developed a new diagnostic technique for measuring ultra-short particle beams at STFC's Central Laser Facility. This collaboration is led by the University of ...

In the classic “rubber hand” illusion, a participant is tricked into experiencing a fake arm on the table in front of them as their own: their brain “feels” the tickle of a feather or other stimuli ...

When I think of the best puzzle games, a striking art style goes a long way. Return of the Obra Dinn, The Witness, Antichamber, The Swapper - even the likes of Outer Wilds. It's not a must-have, but ...
