When stars explode as supernovas, they produce shock waves in the plasma surrounding them. So powerful are these shock waves, they can act as particle accelerators that blast streams of particles, ...

A recent preprint claims that we may someday be able to create gravitational waves in a lab. Through the use of “twisted” light, we could create powerful, high-frequency waves in a controlled setting.

On May 24, scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) began an 18-month campaign to detect the most distant collisions between black holes and neutron stars ever ...

Collision course: head-on interaction of two solitons in a space-time representation. The horizontal axis is the position along the tank, the vertical position is time and the colours are the heights ...

Recent groundbreaking studies have uncovered that sonic waves can induce vivid hallucinations when applied in controlled lab environments. This surprising discovery opens new avenues for understanding ...

Scientists have found new details about how supernovas boost charged particles to nearly the speed of light. When stars explode as supernovas, they produce shock waves in the plasma surrounding them.
