In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...

The research that leads to a Nobel Prize in physics can sometimes be a little obscure. In 1990, for example, three scientists got the nod “for their pioneering investigations concerning deep inelastic ...

The grand problem that Einstein struggled with in his later years, after publishing his breakthrough works on relativity, is a problem that remains unsolved. We're talking, of course, about the ...

We often marvel at the genius of Albert Einstein, a physicist who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Yet, even this formidable mind was perplexed by a grand scientific problem, one that ...

The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

A bizarre "cosmic glitch" in the theory of how the gravity of the universe works may have been mended. The strange glitch in Einstein's description of gravity in his theory of general relativity may ...

Yeah, yeah, Albert Einstein. Smart guy. This being summer, you see his face on T-shirts, sticking out his tongue, as if to say, “Ask the guy wearing this if he can explain fractions.” Props to ...

The faster you move, the stranger time becomes. By imagining how light travels to two people moving at different speeds, Einstein showed that time isn’t absolute. His thought experiment revealed that ...

Time is a straightforward concept - or is it? The passing of minutes and years isn't as easy to explain as many assume.

In the rarefied world of theoretical physics, where Albert Einstein’s shadow still looms large, Harvard University and ...
