A 'boom' of light that appears when a particle exceeds the speed of light set by a medium could, in other contexts, signal a ...

Cherenkov radiation, the faint blue glow produced when charged particles exceed the phase velocity of light in a dielectric medium, has rapidly evolved from a fundamental physical phenomenon to a ...

Flashes like Cherenkov radiation in space may reveal negative-energy ghosts, hinting at gaps in gravity theories.

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 ...
