"The beam reflected by these satellites is very intense, four times brighter than the full Moon." The post Scientists Oppose ...

By miniaturizing THz spectroscopy to a chip-scale platform, James McIver’s lab has uncovered a promising new method for controlling quantum materials. Under certain conditions, two-dimensional (2D) ...

Quantum mechanics does not only describe how the world works on its smallest scales, but also affects the motion of macroscopic objects. An international research team, including four scientists from ...

Recently, a company by former SpaceX employee Ben Nowack – called Reflect Orbital – announced that it is now ready to put gigantic mirrors in space to reflect sunshine at ground-based solar farms.

Material scientist Brian Haidet has filmed laser light moving at 2 billion frames per second, showing the results on his ...

Over a century ago, Albert Einstein found a paradox during a thought experiment involving mirrors moving at the speed of light. Now, a new set of calculations may have unravelled it. “If you search ...

Occasionally, science museums can stimulate new science. Inspired by an exhibit on an optical experiment performed by Isaac Newton, physicists have taken the first X-ray snapshot of a microscopic ...

WASHINGTON, March 15, 2022 -- Quantum physical experiments exploring the motion of macroscopic or heavy bodies under gravitational forces require protection from any environmental noise and highly ...
