Physicists propose a new way to levitate and propel spacecraft-sized objects with light
The concept is audacious -- but it might be just crazy enough to work.
Scientists have calculated the force of a photon hitting an object
It's a tiny value, but a huge discovery.
Three Old Scientific Concepts Getting a Modern Look
The ancients often got it wrong about science -- but they weren't that far off.
Scientists just turned light-based information into readable soundwaves
It's like storing lightning in thunder.
What exactly is a photon? Definition, properties, facts
Let's shine some light on the matter.
First ever optical chip to permanently store data developed
Material scientists at Oxford University, collaborating with experts from Karlsruhe, Munster and Exeter, have developed the world's first light-based memory ...
The world’s first image of light as both a particle and a wave
We see light every day, and yet, we don't truly understand it; it's either a particle or a wave, or ...
Scientists coax Two Photons to interact in Ultra-thin Fiber Glass
Austrian researchers at the Vienna Univ. of Technology (TU Wien) made just two photons interact with each other, a major feat ...
New material allows ultra-thin, transparent solar cells
Austrlian researchers have successfully developed transparent, ultra-thin, foldable solar cells.

Smart ‘curtains’ open and close just by responding to light only
Schematic for two different types of PC/SWNT photoactuators made by tuning the built-in strain of the bilayers. (c) Nature Communications ...
Harvard and MIT scientists create photon molecules
Photons and molecules Mikhail Lukin - image via Harvard. Scientists managed to 'trick' photons (the elementary particles of light and ...
First working phaser built: a laser that shoots sound
A false-color scanning electron microscope image of the etched circuit that produces the sound laser. (c) Imran Mahboob Trekkies have ...
Astronomers capture light from first stars using bright galaxies
I gotta say, sometimes it absolutely baffles me to see the kind of complex studies astrophysicists do, and this is ...
Physics premiere: synthetic magnetism used to control light – new generation of electronics possible
Photons are slippery fellas. Since they don't have any electrons, they're free to run through any matter, no matter how ...
Time travel proven impossible by scientists
A team of Hong Kong scientists have proven that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in vacuum, ...
Physicists create previously thought impossible super photons
A team of physicists from the University of Bonn developed a totally new type of source of light, the so ...
