FERENC KRAUSZ’S picture looks just the way you might draw a light wave – a brief wiggle on a dark background, with an ethereal, transient quality to it. But it becomes all the more impressive when you ...

Physicists have accomplished a quantum leap in light research. They have managed to capture the behavior of extremely short laser pulses during focusing by means of very high spatial and temporal ...

Introduction Have you ever noticed seagulls bobbing up and down on the ocean? You might have also seen surfers catch a wave that takes them to shore. Maybe you have floated on a lake, going up and ...

In a historic first, astronomers have detected low-frequency gravitational waves using a galaxy-sized antenna of millisecond pulsars in the Milky Way. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Cosmic claims: researchers have used radio telescopes around the world to hunt for gravitational waves using the subtle variations in the timing of pulsars. (Courtesy: Aurore Simonnet for the NANOGrav ...
