A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity to its toughest test yet.

The loudest black hole collision ever recorded has just given Einstein’s theory of general relativity its hardest test so far. The event, dubbed GW250114, produced a record-smashing signal-to-noise ...

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 ...

On July 2, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose ...

A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

Netflix has released a new docudrama titled Einstein and the Bomb, that narrates the story of the German-born theoretical physicist’s life and career. Interestingly, this project used archival footage ...

Albert Einstein was born March 14, 1879 (coincidentally, 3/14 is also known as pi day because it’s the three digits of pi: 3.14). Known as the father of modern physics, he published some of the most ...

A famous aphorism by Albert Einstein is carved in stone, in the original German, over the mantelpiece of one of the common rooms at Princeton. When I was a graduate student I would sometimes take ...
