What might the second quantum revolution mean for science, technology and our understanding of reality itself?

Physicists tested light speed using cosmic gamma-ray bursts. Study confirms Einstein's prediction that all light colors travel at same speed.

Light speed would allow instant trips across Earth and minutes to reach the Sun, but even at 300,000 km/s the expanding ...

Last Word is New Scientist’s long-running series in which readers give scientific answers to each other’s questions, ranging ...

Physicists have demonstrated with unprecedented accuracy that the speed of light remains constant. In 1887, a landmark physics experiment was carried out by American researchers Michelson and Morley.

Abstract: Point clouds of reflective objects are often incomplete in fringe projection structured light 3-D measurement. Traditional solutions are always computationally inefficient, whereas the ...

It takes light a single day to travel 16 billion miles. The Voyager 1 probe will need a little longer, just 49 years.

This means that it would still take a little over four whole years of traveling at lightspeed to reach the red dwarf—not that ...

In a cafe at CERN in 1992, three physicists realized they disagreed about how many constants are needed to describe all of nature. A recent paper suggests only one – time – is necessary.

Based on these initial findings, the team further developed extremely high-resolution simulations called "shock-tubes." ...

Abstract: Localizing an aggressively moving platform is a considerable challenge in the SLAM domain. This paper presents a dataset, SwiftBase, crafted to facilitate research into precise localization ...

The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light ...
