Einstein’s theory of general relativity has been challenged by a team of researchers having conducted a 16 year-long experiment. The theory, which Albert Einstein published in 1915, is the cornerstone ...

Albert Einstein was well known for his thought experiments involving complex scientific ideas. Often he used real-world examples that helped non-scientists grasp his theories of relativity. He started ...

Decades in the making, a space probe that delves into Albert Einstein's general theory of gravitation remains grounded on Earth, caught in its own space-time continuum of technical snags, costly ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The University at Buffalo's Arts and Sciences Libraries have constructed an online exhibit celebrating Albert Einstein's life and achievements with links to manuscripts and papers, ...

A gyromagnetic effect discovered by Albert Einstein and Dutch physicist Wander Johannes de Haas--the rotation of an object caused by a change in magnetization--has been measured at micrometer-scale ...

A team of Chinese scientists has recreated a famous thought experiment proposed by Albert Einstein nearly 100 years ago, confirming a key principle of quantum mechanics. Their experiment shows that a ...

Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...

In the 1920s, Albert Einstein proposed a twist on the double-slit experiment. Rather than a wall with two fixed slits, he imagined a very light slit that would recoil when a single photon passed ...

Betting against Einstein and his theory of relativity is a way to go broke. For more than a century, everyone from physicists to the Nazi Party — which encouraged the publication of the tract "One ...

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary experiments—with unprecedented precision. At MIT, scientists cooled thousands of atoms to ...
