In a study that has implications for both radiation and particle physics, researchers from Osaka University demonstrate, as predicted by Einstein’s theory, the relativistic contraction of an electric field created by fast-moving charged particles. Special relativity, proposed by one of ...

In the bigger picture, this experiment can lead people to understand better the Earth’s changing climate and the increasing pace of ice melting throughout our world. However, understanding why ice takes different shapes is a matter of intense curiosity for ...

Figuring out the essential nature of reality according to quantum mechanics, is like the most challenging game you’ve ever played. And it can get worse. Imagine that, no matter where you begin with a quantum principle, you always get a ...
