Scientists have long been fascinated by how light interacts with matter. At the heart of this curiosity are photons—particles that carry light—as they pass through different materials. When photons ...

According to scientists at the University of Toronto, “negative time”, which was previously considered an illusion, has turned out to be measurable through quantum mechanics. This discovery contests ...

Scientists claim to have found evidence of “negative time” after observing photons exiting a material before entering it. A team of quantum physicists from the University of Toronto in Canada made the ...

The concept of negative time sounds implausible – or the basis for time travel. But while many scientists are skeptical of its existence, recent research has hinted to there being more to this wacky ...

“Negative time” might sound like science fiction, but an international team of theorists and experimentalists has determined that a photon can, in fact, spend a negative amount of time in an excited ...

The groundbreaking experiment at the University of Toronto involved firing photons into a cloud of ultracold rubidium atoms. As these photons interacted, a strange event occurred: the photons ...
