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

The sharpest black hole collision ever detected just gave Einstein another win—and raised hopes that the next one might ...

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 ...

The Einstein equations remain the cornerstone of general relativity, underpinning our understanding of how matter and energy influence spacetime curvature. Recent investigations have not only ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Born in Ülm, Germany in 1879, Einstein is generally described as having been withdrawn and slow to respond in his early years. Often he quietly sat by himself putting together shapes cut out with a ...
