We just got the clearest snapshot yet of the first light that streamed through the Universe ... But that blobby, orange-and-blue map is bringing us closer to figuring it out, a testament to the ...

When light passes through a material, the spatial arrangement of the material’s atoms can cause the light to undergo reflection, refraction, dispersion, or diffusion. Researchers from Heriot ...

The zoom-in on the right is 10 degrees high. Polarized light vibrates in a particular direction; blue shows where the surrounding light’s vibration directions are angled towards it, like spokes on a ...

"Blue balls" is a slang term for a medical condition called epididymal hypertension. This condition occurs when prolonged sexual arousal without ejaculation causes fluid to build up in the testicles.

New research reveals light can behave as a supersolid, paving the way for advancements in quantum computing and optical technologies. In a breakthrough, Italian scientists have successfully ...

Light, the maker of a minimalist phone designed to help consumers disconnect from smartphone distractions and social media, will launch its newest model, the Light Phone III, on March 27. This ...

For the first time, researchers transformed light into a quantum crystalline structure to create a "supersolid" that's both solid and liquid at the same time. Here’s what that means, and why it ...

The Blue Light Card, which offers discounts to emergency workers, has since expanded to include other professions, including education. The card costs £4.99 for two years of access to thousands ...

We all know that freezing is the process by which a liquid transforms into a solid, but believe it or not, a team of Italian scientists has managed to 'freeze' light. For the first time, they have ...

The scientists believe that light-based supersolids may be easier to work with than supersolids made using atoms. In the future, the team hopes to learn more about this quantum matter’s ...
