Just days after Albert Einstein's theory that nothing moves faster than light was called into question by a startling neutrino experiment, the long-dead physicist might have come to his own rescue.

阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦关于没有比光更快的行驶速度的理论，受到了一个令人吃惊的中微子实验的质疑，可是仅仅在几天以后，这位逝世已久的物理学家的理论可能就有人予以捍卫。

ECONOMIST: Spotting dark matter, at last

"By using natural crystals for the first time, rather than artificial metamaterials, we have been able to scale up the size of the cloak and can hide larger objects, thousands of times bigger than the wavelength of the light, " said Shuang Zhang, the University of Birmingham physicist who led the research.

This fall, the aesthetics of light will be explored in a course co-taught by Sidney Nagel, a physicist, and Gray Center fellow James Carpenter.
