On one hand, the speed of light is just a number: 299,792,458 meters per second. And on the other, it’s one of the most important constants that appears in nature and defines the relationship of ...
Physicists are no longer content to let atoms blur into invisibility. By squeezing light into pulses that last just billionths of a billionth of a second and pairing them with cameras that tick at ...
The principle of relativity, as initially described by Galileo, posits that the laws of physics remain consistent regardless of an observer's relative motion. Einstein's special relativity ...
DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...
For the first time in history, scientists have succeeded in visually capturing the speed of light. Through an innovative use of high-speed photography and lasers, researchers have managed to ...
