Scientists Slowed Down Light by 10,000 Times in an Experiment

Scientists have previously established that light can be slowed down in certain scenarios, and a new study demonstrates a method for achieving it that promises to be one of the most useful approaches yet.

Physicists Find Groundbreaking Evidence Time Is Reversible Within Glass

In a revolutionary breakthrough German physicists have discovered that time is reversible within glass and plastics.

'Time Cells' in Human Brain Encode The Flow of Time

Research suggests that 'time cells' – neurons in the hippocampus thought to represent temporal information – could be the glue that sticks our memories together in the right sequence so that we can properly recall the correct order in which things happened.

Astronomers spot aurora on the sun for the 1st time

Scientists have spotted a stunning "aurora-like" display of crackling radio waves over the surface of the sun that is strikingly similar to the Northern Lights on Earth.

The universe was five times slower soon after the Big Bang

Scientists have for the first time observed the early universe running in extreme slow motion, unlocking one of the mysteries of Einstein's expanding universe. 

Scientists Invent A New Way Of Measuring Time

The novel technique differs from the most familiar ways of keeping time because it is not anchored to a “time zero” that marks the start of a recorded period.

Astronomers Witness Light Delayed by Almost 7 Years

Way back in 1979, astronomers discovered that cluster's mass distribution formed a lens that distorted the light. Now EU astronomers have spotted time delaying effect with another distant quasar.

Pig heart transplanted to human for the first time

The University of Maryland School of Medicine announced that its staff had completed the first transplant of a pig's heart into a human. The patient was too sick to qualify for the standard transplant list. 

The Earth has been spinning faster lately

Scientists around the world have noted that the Earth has been spinning on its axis faster lately - the fastest ever recorded in decades. Scientists say we may need to cut an entire second out of the year.  

Reversing the flow of time on a quantum computer

Researchers have developed an algorithm to simulate returning a particle briefly to the past. The results suggest new paths for exploring the backward flow of time in quantum systems.

It's official: time crystals are a new state of matter, and now we can create them

Two separate research teams managed to create what looked an awful lot like time crystals back in January, and now both experiments have successfully passed peer-review for the first time, putting the 'impossible' phenomenon squarely in the realm of reality.

The earth's rotation is slowing - and days will eventually be 25 hours long

After a review of celestial data spanning 27 centuries, a team of astronomers has determined that Earth’s orbit slows almost two milliseconds every 100 years.

'Time' not necessarily deeply rooted in our brains. In the Amazonian rainforest a small tribe have successfully managed to ignore the pressures of time so successfully that they don’t even have a word for it

(Medical Xpress) -- Hidden away in the Amazonian rainforest a small tribe have successfully managed what so many dream of being able to do – to ignore the pressures of time so successfully that they don’t even have a word for it.
