With new technologies comes new discoveries. Or so Spider Man's Uncle Ben might have said if he was an astronomer. Or a ...

Physicists have spent a century trying to reconcile the smooth fabric of spacetime in general relativity with the jittery ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Einstein’s equations were written for chalkboards and paper, yet they now sit at the heart of some of the most visually ...

Astronomers have detected spacetime itself being dragged and twisted by a spinning black hole for the first time. The ...

Learn how researchers used Einstein’s theory of general relativity to create the most accurate simulations to date.

On average, Martian time ticks roughly 477 millionths of a second faster than terrestrial clocks per Earth day. But the Red ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...

Imaging analyses developed by Columbia researchers have now found that the junction between white and gray matter—in the ...

An artist's impression depicts the accretion disc surrounding a black hole, in which the inner region of the disc wobbles. In ...

Scientists reveal why time moves faster on Mars than on Earth, and how this affects future space communication and navigation ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...
