Why

The points of darkness carry neither mass nor information, enabling their apparent motion to exceed light speed without violating Einstein's theory of relativity.

The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

This breakthrough provides a powerful technological tool for scientists to map delicate nanoscale phenomena in materials and study hidden processes in physics, chemistry, and biology, offering sharper measurements of ultrafast, nanoscale motion.
