The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

A growing body of theoretical and experimental work in physics is converging on a striking possibility: time, the dimension humans experience as a constant forward flow, may not be a fundamental ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of physics. Despite enormous progress in cosmology and particle physics, we still ...

A team of physicists led by Jared Fuchs at the University of Alabama in Huntsville has produced a peer-reviewed warp drive ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of ...

E = mc2, the equation in German-born physicist Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity that showed that the increased relativistic mass (m) of a body comes from the energy of ...

The big bang wasn’t the start of everything, but it has been impossible to see what came before. Now a new kind of cosmology is lifting the veil on the beginning of time ...

For many critics of religion, particularly within atheist circles, the Big Bang theory is frequently presented as a decisive scientific evidence against belief in God and the biblical doctrine of ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...

When students learn that Albert Einstein won a Nobel Prize, the assumption feels automatic: relativity. The bending of space and time. The theory that redefined gravity and reshaped modern physics.

Franco Debono has spent almost 30 years cross-examining witnesses in Malta’s criminal courts. Now he has turned his sights on a defendant with a 100-year alibi: Albert Einstein. Debono, one of Malta’s ...
