Scientists have unveiled ambitious plans for a revolutionary £17 billion particle accelerator, aiming to unlock the universe’s deepest mysteries. The Future Circular Collider (FCC), proposed by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), is set to be a colossal 56.5-mile circular tunnel located beneath the Swiss-French border. This groundbreaking accelerator, triple the size of its... 

For the first time ever, scientists have slowed down the speed of light, particles known as photons, as it traveled through free space, a study says. Scientists successfully reduced the speed of photon particles as they traveled in free space after passing through a special mask, researchers from the University of Glasgow and Heriot-Watt University, both in Scotland, said in a paper published in Science... 

A NASA scientist and a renowned graphic artist have teamed up to produce designs for a vessel that may someday allow human beings to travel the universe and beyond in a first-of-its-kind warp drive spacecraft faster than light. Impressive illustrations of the work-in-progress NASA’s New Design for a Warp Drive Ship” made their way to the web this week while NASA researcher Harold White and Dutch... 

The Oscillation Project with Emulsion-Racking Apparatus detector at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, hosted a fiercely contested experiment that appears to show the accepted speed limit of the Universe can be broken. The speed of light appears to have been broken again after scientists carried out a new set of experiments to test measurements that could require the laws of physics to be rewritten. Scientists... 

Speed-of-light experiments give baffling result: Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity is being challenged by findings by the Cern team. Scientists have said they have clocked subatomic particles travelling faster than light – a feat that, if true, would break Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity and undermine laws that underpin physics. The Cern team says a neutrino... 

Using our current technology, it would take 180,000 years to reach Zarmina. But our resident physicist Dave Goldberg has a more optimistic estimate – thanks to antimatter and time dilation, astronauts could get there in just a few years. Dave calculates that, if we could build a stellar drive that gets its fuel from matter-antimatter explosions, then it would be possible to travel to Zarmina...
