Adam Sherwinski teaches ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander about light refraction. Watch how light bends when it passes through water in this fun and easy science experiment! In this video, we explore ...

In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated ...

The electrical energy generated by thunderstorms can make our hair stand up, and even create invisible sparkles on trees. Now, we have photographic proof of this long-theorized electrical event for ...

Raphael Gomes conducts science experiments using everyday food, discovering unexpected reactions and results.

Understanding what complex chemical measurements reveal about materials and reactions can take weeks or months of analysis. But now, an AI-powered platform developed by researchers at the Department ...

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 ...

Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

Scientists in Korea are developing a comfortable light therapy hat that they hope will help with hair loss and growth. In lab experiments, the invention's finely tuned system suppressed age-associated ...

Using gold flakes, salt water, and light, scientists have made the universe’s invisible binding forces visible in color. The discovery opens new possibilities for studying how matter organizes itself ...

Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...

The carbon filament used in Edison’s 1897 light bulb experiments generated the precise amount of heat needed to produce ...

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