Get ready stargazers: the Perseid meteor shower peaks next week, Aug. 12-13, bringing up to 100 shooting stars per hour, along with the potential for dazzling fireballs The Perseid meteor shower occurs each year as Earth barrels through the trail of ancient debris shed by comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. These cometary fragments — often no larger than a grain of sand — …

YouTubers The Slow Mo Guys filmed at 10,000,000,000,000 frames per second to capture the speed of light on camera. Gavin Free and Daniel Gruchy, better known as The Slow Mo Guys have a YouTube channel dedicated to filming things in incredibly slow motion. Over the years, they’ve recorded everything from popcorn machines to flame throwers.  But perhaps their most impressive …

Black holes embody the ultimate abyss. They are the most powerful sources of gravity in the universe, capable of dramatically distorting space and time around them. When disturbed, they begin to “ring” in a distinctive pattern known as quasinormal modes: ripples in space-time that produce detectable gravitational waves. In events like black hole mergers, these waves can be strong enough …

Two centuries ago, the double-slit experiment revealed the strange nature of light – somewhat wave and somewhat particle. This quietly launched modern quantum theory. Now, a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has stripped that classroom favorite to its bare bones and proved, once again, that you can never observe light behaving as both a particle and a …

All living tissues give off photons as excited molecules shed excess energy. The phenomenon is so subtle – roughly a million times dimmer than the threshold of human vision – that researchers call it ultra-weak photon emission (UPE). Because the brain consumes an exceptionally high metabolic budget and is packed with photoactive compounds such as flavins and serotonin, scientists have …

Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West publishers Sony have called in the lawyers over Tencent’s upcoming Light of Motiram, arguing in a lawsuit filing (spotted by Reuters) that the post-apocalyptic action adventure looks a little too much like their post-apocalyptic action adventure. The case alleges that Light of Motiram, currently in development at Tencent subsidiary Polaris Quest, is a “slavish clone” of …
