Some speculated the light could have been caused by a space weather phenomenon known as Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement, or STEVE, which is created by energized particles in Earth’s ...

charged subatomic particles moving faster than the speed of light (in water) producing an effect similar to a sonic boom, which occurs when (for example) a plane travels faster than the speed of ...

Researchers have previously used this effect to push glass particles in various directions, depending on the shape and frequency of the light waves. Moreover, corkscrew-shaped waves have been used ...

Essentially, an international team of scientists wanted to see how un-classical particles of light could get—and ... in the most “nonclassical effects in the quantum world” that’s ever ...

Observing light in motion is now possible thanks to an impressive breakthrough by researchers at the University of Toronto. They have developed a technology capable of capturing and simulating the ...
