The magnetic moment of the muon—a tiny property of a tiny particle—has long puzzled physicists. Experiments and theory haven’t quite matched up, leaving open the thrilling possibility of discovering ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. This article is more than 4 years old. Light is well known to exhibit ...

Researchers at Tampere University and the University of Eastern Finland have reached a milestone in a study where they derived a new kind of wave equation, which applies for accelerating waves. The ...

Deborah Ferguson (UT Austin), Bhavesh Khamesra (Georgia Tech), and Karan Jani (Vanderbilt University). After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of ...

Physicists at the University of Southampton have tested and proven a 50 year old theory for the first time using electro-magnetic waves. They have shown that the energy of waves can be increased by ...

Whenever light interacts with matter, light appears to slow down. This is not a new observation and standard wave mechanics can describe most of these daily phenomena. For example, when light is ...
