If ever spotted in the emptiness of space, according to theoretical physicist Eugeny Babichev of the University of ...

Flashes like Cherenkov radiation in space may reveal negative-energy ghosts, hinting at gaps in gravity theories.

Cherenkov radiation, the faint blue glow produced when charged particles exceed the phase velocity of light in a dielectric medium, has rapidly evolved from a fundamental physical phenomenon to a ...

Image: SHINE Technologies and and University of Wisconsin Nuclear Reactor Wisconsin-headquartered SHINE Technologies has reported clearly visible Cherenkov radiation resulting from deuterium-tritium ...

HFIR reactor operators perform tasks from the bridge above the reactor pool. Spent fuel casts a blue glow from the Cherenkov radiation effect, which occurs when charged particles from radioactive ...

The glow from faster-than-light particles gives us a unique way to explore the universe. Nothing can travel faster than light — in a vacuum. But when light slows down, sometimes matter can blaze past ...
