Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

Dark structures inside light waves can briefly move faster than light without breaking relativity or transmitting energy or information.

Photon duality remains a paradox because the photon is regarded as a simple, unitary object in space. Equally bad, massless radiation is interpreted via concepts drawn from mass-based physics. The ...

(Aitor Diago/Moment/Getty Images) For the first time, physicists have observed that 'holes' in light can move faster than the light itself. They're known as phase singularities or optical vortices, ...

A dark point inside a wave of light sounds like a contradiction. It is also something researchers say they have now viewed in ...

Physicists have directly tracked tiny points of darkness in laser light racing faster than light itself, without breaking ...
