Physicists have manipulated individual particles of light, photons, under ultra-stable laboratory conditions. They split a ...

When you ask what a photon would "see," you are assuming that it's possible for something to interact with a photon and for the photon to experience that interaction somehow.

A photon is a packet of electromagnetic radiation. A very small part of the spectrum of that radiation (wavelengths of around 400 to 750 nanometres) is detectable with our eyes and we call this light.

A new article explores the string theoretical effects outside the black hole photon sphere.

A new theory, that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise shape of a single photon.

A photon traveling through the curved space-time near a black hole isn't so much pulled as falls into the the black hole.

A curious observer’s guide to quantum mechanics, pt. 3: Rose colored glasses “How big is a particle?” Well, that's a subtle (and, unsurprisingly, complex) question.
