Light seems so ordinary — the flick of a lamp, the glow of the Sun — that it’s easy to forget it carries one of nature’s deepest secrets. At exactly 299,792 kilometers per second (about 186,000 miles ...

So, you’re driving a car at half the speed of light. (Both hands on the wheel, please.) You turn on the headlights. How fast would you see this light traveling? What about a person standing by the ...

A tech firm has just demonstrated that a computer chip using light and the speed at which it moves for processing is capable of handling real-world computer workloads at revolutionary speeds and ...

Science fiction authors and readers dream of travelling at the speed of light, but Einstein tells us we can’t. You might think that’s an arbitrary rule, but [FloatHeadPhysics] shows a different way to ...

Everyone knows the woes of slow internet connection speeds, but the Google Taara chip could provide Internet to previously unreachable areas — and at speeds of up to 20Gbps per second. This project ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world’s second largest body of ice. Using 3-D ...

Abstract: Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy has many advantages including high-speed, noninvasive and low photobleaching and photodamage. The light-sheet thickness of light-sheet microscopy is used ...

Harnessing light, photonic quantum computing tackles tasks faster than traditional methods, offering solutions in cryptography, healthcare, and AI. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Photonics is transforming ...
