The idea was first hypothesized about 70 years ago. In a bizarre repercussion of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, objects traveling close to the speed of light appear flipped over.

The speed of light was a mystery for millennia, a fugitive constant that escaped measurement and understanding. Now among the ...

The speed of light is the fastest anything can travel. What happens to a photon from a galaxy 25 million light years away on ...

Imagine a tiny needle traveling at the unimaginable speed of light colliding with Earth. What would happen? In this mind-bending video, we explore the physics and catastrophic consequences of such an ...

A team of scientists has unveiled a breakthrough that could one day propel computers to operate at speeds millions of times ...

An experiment has visualized a prediction about objects traveling at the speed of light known as the Penrose-Terrell Effect, first made over 60 years ago. When objects approach the speed of light ...

As Elon Musk touts robotaxis in Austin, federal regulators are investigating whether Tesla’s system is dangerous even with a ...

Engineers develop multifunctional, reconfigurable component of an optical computing system that could be a game changer in ...

CERN researchers achieved the feat by aiming beams of lead at each other, travelling at close to the speed of light. The ions occasionally glance past each other, rather than hitting head-on.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) designed and fabricated catalysts that can increase the speed of carbon ...
