Learn more about the safety benefits of side-view mirrors while driving, plus why objects are so much closer than they ...

When these objects collide, they produce a gamma-ray burst and a lot of visible light, but they also generate gravitational waves.

Black holes are places where gravity is so powerful that nothing — not even light — can escape. Rather than being empty, black holes are chock full of matter that gets squeezed into a teensy space.

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state of its entangled pair regardless of distance. This strange fact flies in ...

The researchers then trained the network using a computer to identify the objects in front of it by learning the pattern of diffracted light each object produces as the light from that object ...

But how did the merger of these two light-deprived objects produce a flare? It seems unlikely since black holes are naturally dark beings, a space vacuum where not even light can escape from the ...

Most people interpret radiation as a bad thing—but it isn’t always. In fact, radiation is a very normal phenomenon. For now, let’s just say that radiation is when an object produces energy ...

Learn about light and how shadows form with these interactive learning resources for KS2 Science students aged 7-11 from BBC Bitesize.

Dark dwarfs, celestial objects potentially hidden in our galaxy's center, may provide crucial insights into the enigmatic ...

The challenge is that, in many cases, the objects that could be reflecting light from elsewhere often produce light of their own.

Light is something we use and need every day. It is a form of energy that allows us to see all around us! Lots of different sources produce light. Earth's main source of natural light is the Sun ...

A device uses quantum effects to create images of objects from light that never actually touched them ...
