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

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 ...

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

One such mystery, described in a recent paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concerns circumbinary exoplanets—or rather, the shortage thereof—in the now 6,000+ exoplanets confirmed to date.

Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire field ...

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

Two researchers have found an explanation for why we find almost no exoplanets orbiting binary stars. According to them, ...

Learn why only 14 out of over 6,000 exoplanets orbit two stars, and how Einstein’s general theory of relativity may be to blame.

It was co-written with his lifelong friend, the Swiss engineer Michele Besso. LONDON -- A rare manuscript by Albert Einstein that changed the course of modern science was just sold for over 13.3 ...

Like Max Planck, Albert Einstein first studied mathematics because he was told that everything interesting in physics had already been discovered. But in 1905, Einstein, a young cleark at the Swiss ...

A rare 54-page manuscript featuring preliminary calculations for Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity sold for about $13 million at auction in Paris Tuesday to an unknown buyer — almost four ...
