The reliable manipulation of the speed at which light travels through objects could have valuable implications for the development of various advanced technologies, including high-speed communication ...

Experiments conducted on different types of membranes showed that as ion concentration increases, certain behaviors become asymmetric. This means some reactions don't work the same way in both ...

The world’s only net-positive fusion experiment has been steadily ramping up the amount of power it produces, TechCrunch has learned. In recent attempts, the team at the U.S. Department of ...

An experiment has visualized a prediction about objects traveling at the speed of light known as the Penrose-Terrell Effect, first made over 60 years ago. When objects approach the speed of light ...

In 2023, a Multnomah County Circuit Court found that OHSU violated Oregon public records law by attempting to withhold videos of the experiment from PETA. The court described PETA as the "wrong ...

We study these ecosystems because we love them – but we are expected to be removed from our subjects. Scientists should experiment with creative ways of communicating their work to inspire action to ...

While the experiment had been egregiously unethical, it did prove that circumstances have the power to make normal people act like tyrants—or what Zimbardo has called “the power of the ...

A 135-year-old chemistry law is getting a quantum makeover. An experiment with a single quantum bit, or a qubit, has uncovered that the Arrhenius equation, which describes how reaction rates ...

He devised several experiments, as detailed in a 2017 paper published in the journal The International Journal of Quantum Foundations, designed to detect if something is rendering the world around ...

CLIMATEWIRE | Wealthy philanthropists with ties to Wall Street and Silicon Valley are unbowed by a botched climate experiment to limit the amount of sunlight hitting the earth, vowing to continue ...

A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal space is essential to prevent societal collapse, but Universe 25's relevance to humans remains disputed. June 22, ...
