Physicists artificially slowed down time to reveal the bizarre Terrell-Penrose effect, a consequence of special relativity. This image from the experiment shows a sphere seemingly moving at 99.9 ...

Scientists kept rats conscious longer by stabilizing brain microtubules, reviving a bold theory that your mind may operate on quantum mechanics.

Astronomers have found growing evidence that runaway black holes are hurtling through galaxies at extreme speeds, leaving ...

The method involves stitching together many thin “slices” of light reflecting off an object.

If a pair of black holes coalesce into one, much of that vast energy can be released in a few seconds.

Scientists captured the first images of the Terrell-Penrose effect, showing objects near light speed appear rotated rather than compressed in photos.

For the first time in history, scientists have succeeded in visually capturing the speed of light. Through an innovative use of high-speed photography and lasers, researchers have managed to ...

Our thoughts are with the family and 'many friends' of Averol, 110, who will be 'greatly missed', as well as Elsie, who was ...

Our thoughts are with the friends and family of Jonathan Sleeman as well as all those who have lost a loved one in our ...

London might be home to our national institutions and the centre of Britain’s commercial art world, but the countryside and towns outside the city have more to offer than the uninitiated might ...
