A dark point inside a beam of light should not be much of a traveler. Yet in a new experiment, some of those points appeared to move faster than light itself, darting through a wave field before ...

Nothing can travel faster than light—or at least that's what most of us have been taught. But physicists have discovered ...

A historic discovery in wave dynamics opens new doors for quantum information encoding. Albert Einstein famously discovered that nothing with mass, not even supersonic sound, is faster than the speed ...

A dark point inside a wave of light sounds like a contradiction. It is also something researchers say they have now viewed in real time, moving so quickly that, by one measure, it outran light itself.

Can darkness really travel faster than light? A surprising new physics experiment suggests it can—at least in a very unusual way. Scientists observed dark regions within light waves moving faster than ...
