Some scientific experiments conducted by experts are so unique that they often astonish everyone witnessing them. These experiments even produce visuals or results that seem straight out of science ...

At the heart of the Swiss-French border, beneath 100 meters of Alpine soil, a long-abandoned alchemical dream has stirred back to life—if only briefly. Researchers at CERN, the European Organisation ...

Scientists at CERN, the famous Geneva-based physics lab, have just called into question one of the most hallowed equations in physics: E = MC2. Scientists, the AP explains, have clocked subatomic ...

German scientists claim to have broken the light-speed barrier, which could blow away the known limitations of modern networking, but the technology is unlikely to make it into a product--if at ...

Here, a calcite crystal is struck with a laser operating at 445 nanometers, fluorescing and displaying properties of birefringence. Unlike the standard picture of light breaking into individual ...

Electromagnetic (EM) radiation is incredibly useful. It enables us to transmit music wirelessly over large distances, cook food in the microwave and see the world in vivid detail. However, now more ...
