For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical illusion called the Terrell-Penrose effect. When you purchase through links on ...

Our eyes are constantly moving, even if we're not aware of it. These rapid movements, called saccades, are essential for our vision. A recent study reveals how these saccades influence what we see—or ...

Using ultra-fast laser pulses and special cameras, scientists have simulated an optical illusion that appears to defy Einstein's theory of special relativity. One consequence of special relativity is ...
