Osaka University researchers show the relativistic contraction of an electric field produced by fast-moving charged particles, as predicted by Einstein’s theory, which can help improve radiation and…
Over one hundred years ago, on May 29, 1919, astronomers observed a total solar eclipse in an ambitious effort to test Albert Einstein’s general theory…
Scientific research is based on the relationship between the reality of nature, as it is observed, and a representation of this reality, formulated by a…
Hard workers may make better role models than geniuses. Role models are important for aspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known…
Physicists at Goethe University measure miniscule effect with new super COLTRIMS apparatus. Albert Einstein received the Nobel Prize for explaining the photoelectric effect: in its…
Einstein’s theory of General Relativity is world-famous – but it might not be the only way to explain how gravity works and how galaxies form….
Astronomers conduct successful test of Einstein’s general theory of relativity near supermassive black hole. The massive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way…
A Nearby white dwarf star helps confirm Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and the history and evolution of galaxies such as our own. Albert Einstein…
The idea that black holes exist dates back to the 18th century with John Michell and astronomer Pierre-Simon de Laplace. Later, Einstein used his General…
A newly published study takes a closer look at the “inside” of Einstein’s brain, revealing that the unusually well connected right and left hemispheres of…
Photographs of Albert Einstein’s brain were taken shortly after his death, but were never analyzed in detail until now. The analysis has revealed several unique…
