A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...

Conduction is the direct flow of heat from your warm body into your colder surroundings. In winter, all that heat escaping ...

From frozen bonfires to quantum physics, why light still matters to our hopes, our science and our long Alaska winters.

While the concept of time travel has long captured public imagination, modern physics actually approaches time in a much more ...

At the heart of every camera is a sensor, whether that sensor is a collection of light-detecting pixels or a strip of ...

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly ...

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...

Right at the brink of a black hole, gravity twists space and time so violently that ordinary physics starts to fall apart.
