The tiny bots follow patterns of light and "artificial space-time," navigating like craft following the curved space around a ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

The results reveal that our universe is reverberating with cosmic collisions. Some of the waves stem from pairs of black ...

Solar eclipses occasion lots of excitement and pique the public's interest in astronomical phenomena. Eclipses can also expand our understanding of the universe in profound ways. In fact, astronomical ...

Herman Mishkin’s 1921 photograph of Albert Einstein, signed and inscribed by Einstein (courtesy private collection) (click to enlarge) Celebrating 100 Years features a 1919 letter written by Einstein ...

BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...

An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...

Research teams on both sides of the Atlantic have shown that precise modeling of the universe and its contents will change the detailed understanding of the evolution of the universe and the growth of ...

Einstein’s equations were written for chalkboards and paper, yet they now sit at the heart of some of the most visually spectacular simulations ever run on a supercomputer. By folding general ...

One of the most basic assumptions of fundamental physics is that the different properties of mass -- weight, inertia and gravitation -- always remain the same in relation to each other. Although all ...

Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire field ...
