When a particle exceeds to the speed of light in a medium, such as water, it produces whats known as Cherenkov radiation. This radiation is used by nuclear inspectors and astronomers, but it’s never ...

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 ...
