A dark point inside a wave of light sounds like a contradiction. It is also something researchers say they have now viewed in real time, moving so quickly that, by one measure, it outran light itself.

A team of physicists has done something that sounds impossible: they filmed points of absolute darkness racing through a beam of light faster than light itself can travel. The footage, captured using ...

For the first time, physicists have observed that 'holes' in light can move faster than the light itself. They're known as phase singularities or optical vortices, and since the 1970s, scientists have ...
