For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of ...

A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision—and a powerful way to test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed ...

LIGO's GW250114 signal tests Einstein's relativity, revealing black hole properties and confirming key theorems in ...

Albert Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, but not for relativity—the theory that made him famous. This article ...

We know that Einstein’s general relativity is, strictly speaking, wrong. That’s because it doesn’t account for quantum effects despite the fact that those e ...

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

The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure and stability of matter ...

A new paper by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) staff details how using popular culture could effectively teach science, ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity was confirmed one hundred years ago today. Go to take a theatrical journey with ...

The second paper, "Fermion Chirality from Non-Bipartite Topology," applies this same lattice geometry to the quantum world.
