Using ultra-fast laser pulses and special cameras, scientists have simulated an optical illusion that appears to defy Einstein's theory of special relativity. One consequence of special relativity is ...

When an object in space appears to be racing at nineteen times the speed of sound, it instantly jumps from routine data point to global headline. The claim that NASA tracked such a hyperfast visitor ...

Astronomers have detected a puzzling 'unicorn' object that's speeding up rather than slowing down, contrary to the laws of physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

To demonstrate the system, the researchers showed that it could reconstruct real-time high-quality still images of a model jet engine rotating at about ∼2170 rpm (top images) and a CPU cooling fan ...

Darryl Z. Seligman is supported by an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship under award AST-2303553. This research award is partially funded by a generous gift of Charles Simonyi to ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical illusion called the Terrell-Penrose effect. When you purchase through links on ...
