Your high school physics teacher wasn’t lying—nothing with mass can outrun light. But scientists at Technion just proved that “darkness” itself doesn’t follow those rules. They’ve confirmed that ...

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, and since the 1970s, scientists have ...

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 ...

A team of physicists has done something that sounds impossible: they filmed points of absolute darkness racing through a beam of light faster than light itself can travel. The footage, captured using ...
