Quantum tunneling happens when a particle seemingly teleports across a barrier. But despite how instantaneous this event sounds, recent research suggests that it doesn’t happen nearly as fast as you might think. SciShow explains.

Scientists might have reached the theoretical limit of how strong this particular material can get, designing the first-ever super-light carbon nanostructure that’s stronger than diamond. The latest development in the nanoworld of carbon comes from a team that has designed something called carbon plate-nanolattices. Under a scanning electron microscope, they look like little cubes, and […]

How Can Microphones Record Light?
The Action Lab shows us what light sounds like in a microphone by performing my very first recording of his voice being transferred to a microphone through light. This has interesting security implications for voice activated devices like Alexa and Google Home.
