E = mc 2 may be the most quotidian equation in physics. Everyone’s heard of it and it’s been proven time and again. Did you convert mass into energy? Go tell it to the stars, whose light is generated ...

Physicists from London’s Imperial College may have stumbled across a way of testing the Breit-Wheeler process, which could lead to a very basic Star Trek replicator. So far, humanity has done a pretty ...

In a stunning demonstration of one of Einstein's most famous equations, physicists are claiming to have created matter from pure light for the very first time. Albert Einstein's famous E=mc^2 equation ...

Scientists at Imperial College London are attempting to use powerful lasers turn light into matter, potentially proving the 84-year-old theory known as the Breit-Wheeler process. According to this ...

Scientists have worked out an easy way of turning light into matter, a process thought to be impossible when first proposed 80 years ago. The proposed experiment would recreate events that occurred in ...

Something from nothing Scientists have worked out an easy way of turning light into matter, a process thought to be impossible when first proposed 80 years ago. The proposed experiment, reported in ...
