The familiar claim, “Nothing can go faster than light,” is, in fact, misleading. Light travels at different speeds in different media. The speed depends on the medium’s index of refraction (n). Light ...

Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) exploits the characteristic blue light emitted when charged particles traverse a dielectric medium at speeds exceeding the phase velocity of light. This phenomenon, ...

SHINE Technologies of the USA says it has demonstrated clearly visible Cherenkov radiation produced by fusion for what is believed to be the first time. Historically, fusion has been demonstrated and ...

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 ...
