Light may be a direct result of small violations of relativity (Lorentz and CPT violation), according to new research. Professor Alan Kostelecky o...

Light may arise from tiny relativity violations, according to a new theory. Speaking most recently at last month's American Physical Society meeting of the Division of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics in Nebraska, Alan Kostelecky of Indiana University described how light mi...

Researchers at The University of Manchester have used graphene to measure an important and mysterious fundamental constant - and glimpse the foundations of the universe. The researchers from The School of Physics and Astronomy, led by Professor Andre Geim, have found that the worlds thinnest ma...

The biggest science facility built in the UK for 30 years has produced its first "synchrotron" light beam. At 2.00am on Tuesday 30th May 2006, Diamond's accelerator team achieved stored beam in the 561.6 metre Storage Ring, which in turn allowed the first observation of synchrotron light. T...

Two Baylor University scientists have come up with a new method to cause a spaceship to effectively travel faster than the speed of light, without breaking the laws of physics. Dr. Gerald Cleaver, associate professor of physics at Baylor, and Richard Obousy, a Baylor graduate student, theorize th...

Electro Scientific Industries, Inc., a leading provider of world-class photonic and laser systems for microengineering applications, today announced that its New Wave Research (NWR) Divisions UP213 laser ablation system helped enable the dating of ancient asteroids at the Department of Geo...

In May 1972 a worker at a nuclear fuelprocessing plant in France noticed something suspicious. He had been conducting a routine analysis of uranium derived from a seemingly ordinary source of ore. As is the case with all natural uranium, the material under study contained three isotopes - that is to...

Title: Observation of the Goos-Hänchen Shift with Neutrons Authors: Victor-O. de Haan, Jeroen Plomp, Theo M. Rekveldt, Wicher H. Kraan, and Ad A. van Well The Goos-Hänchen effect is a spatial shift along an interface resulting from an interference effect that occurs for total internal reflecti...
