A careful alignment of three powerful lasers could generate a mysterious fourth beam of light that is throttled out of the very darkness itself. What sounds like occult forces at work has been ...

When matter and antimatter collide, they turn into pure energy. Energy can also spontaneously turn into matter and antimatter pairs. If this happens in a vacuum under a strong electric field, this is ...

Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum phenomenon where light appears to arise from empty space a concept that until now has only existed in theory. Using cutting-edge simulations, ...

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a ...

There may be an infinite amount of energy locked in the vacuum of space-time. So could we ever harness this energy for anything useful? The idea of vacuum energy comes from quantum field theory, which ...
