In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the ...

Scientists experimentally confirmed what we’ve known to be true for half a century—darkness can “travel” faster than light.

Complementarity A new twist on the double-slit experiment. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Andrey VP) One of the most counterintuitive concepts in physics – the idea that quantum objects are complementary, ...

Physicists and biomedical engineers unlocked new properties in capillary waves thanks to superhydrophobicity. Ripples, like ones produced by raindrops falling in a puddle, are also called capillary ...

The program explores the nature of mechanical waves, questioning how they move and what creates them. It demonstrates wave motion through various experiments, including using a slinky and a wave ...

The acoustic properties of an ultracold fermion gas have been measured either side of the superfluid transition temperature in an experiment that has been described as “near perfect” and “beautiful”.
