A team of researchers in New York was recently able to determine that light waves can create the same type of force as the one allowing airplanes to take of in the air. The group determined that specific types of light beams can be used to create enough lift to carry microscopic particles around. The fact that light ... |

Yesterday, the largest particle accelerator in the world managed to break the world record for producing the most energetic collisions ever achieved in such a machine. Granted, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) broke its own record that it set in December, and analysts say that it will continue to set the bar higher an... |

Scientists from the Harvard University, Hamamatsu Photonics, and ETH Zurich, in Switzerland, recently demonstrated multi-beam, multi-functional lasers for the first time. The compact device emits light in the infrared wavelength spectrum, and is able to take on multiple applications at the same time. The experts unde... |

This Monday marked an historic event. After one year in repairs, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest particle accelerator in the world, has finally began colliding beams of protons together, in its quest for the elusive Higgs boson. This is the elementary particle that, if found, will finally confirm the Sta... |
