A peer-reviewed paper published in The European Physical Journal C presents a modification to Einstein’s general relativity ...

One day, a mind-bending device called the gravity telescope might bring us visceral pictures of exoplanets far beyond our solar system. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Three physicists have proposed a modification to Einstein’s general relativity that, if confirmed, could eliminate the ...

Papers related to the first detection of gravitational waves announced earlier this year were presented by a team of RIT scientists at the International Conference on General Relativity and ...

A new physics paper proposes modifications to Einstein’s theory of relativity that could solve one of the biggest issues ...

Planets orbiting dead stars known as white dwarfs might be able to remain habitable thanks to general relativity subtly altering their motion. When stars like our sun run out of fuel, they expand and ...

In the early 1900s, Albert Einstein proposed the theory of general relativity, which challenged everything scientists believed they understood about the universe at the time. Over the years, ...

Albert Einstein's general theories of relativity have been used to create tiny microscopic robots that can essentially "swim" ...

JILA physicists have measured Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, or more specifically, the effect called time dilation, at the smallest scale ever, showing that two tiny atomic clocks, ...
