Scientists have long been fascinated by how light interacts with matter. At the heart of this curiosity are photons—particles that carry light—as they pass through different materials. When photons ...

According to scientists at the University of Toronto, “negative time”, which was previously considered an illusion, has turned out to be measurable through quantum mechanics. This discovery contests ...

Scientists claim to have found evidence of “negative time” after observing photons exiting a material before entering it. A team of quantum physicists from the University of Toronto in Canada made the ...

Picture a light that behaves in such a freakish manner that it seems to emerge from a substance before it has a chance to get in, thus opposing our common understanding of cause and effect. This is ...

Within our comfortable world of causality we expect that reactions always follow an action and not vice versa. This why the recent chatter in the media about researchers having discovered ‘negative ...

The groundbreaking experiment at the University of Toronto involved firing photons into a cloud of ultracold rubidium atoms. As these photons interacted, a strange event occurred: the photons ...
