MADISON — What if the speed of light is a constant only most of the time? What if gravity sometimes pushed instead of pulled? Scientists are increasingly asking what would seem like far-out questions ...

The headline is somewhat of a trick question: of course the effect did exist before the railroads. However, it wasn’t yet defined by the physics of the day, nor was it even noticed before the ...

The inverse Doppler effect has been observed in an experiment for the first time. Nigel Seddon and Trevor Bearpark at BAE Systems in Bristol in the UK saw the effect in an electrical transmission line ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I cover the history of science and exploration. Today's Google Doodle celebrates the 214th birthday of Christian Doppler, whose ...

Blackmore's lidar system can detect the velocity of pedestrians and vehicles: objects moving away from the vehicle are in yellow or red, those moving toward it appear blue. This morning I got a ...

Machine learning models are being used more and more widely. However, they need a lot of training data to deliver good results. In industrial applications, this wealth of data is often not available ...
