Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have measured “dark points” inside light waves that appear to ...

A dark point inside a wave of light sounds like a contradiction. It is also something researchers say they have now viewed in real time, moving so quickly that, by one measure, it outran light itself.

A research group from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology reports in Nature an unprecedented achievement in electron ...

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 ...

Dark structures inside light waves can briefly move faster than light without breaking relativity or transmitting energy or information.

University of Adelaide applied mathematicians have extended Einstein’s theory of special relativity to work beyond the speed of light. Einstein’s theory holds that nothing could move faster than the ...

When an object moves extremely fast – close to the speed of light – certain basic assumptions that we take for granted no longer apply. This is the central consequence of Albert Einstein's special ...
