Continuous Search Begun For Gravitational Waves
June 28, 2006 The joint German-British Gravitational Wave Detector GEO600 has now entered an 18-month run of continuous measurement. Researchers are optimistic that they will be able to observe a never before seen ... > full story -
Scientists Predict How To Detect A Fourth Dimension Of Space
May 25, 2006 Scientists at Duke and Rutgers universities have developed a mathematical framework they say will enable astronomers to test a new five-dimensional theory of gravity that competes with Einstein's ... > full story -
NASA Scientists Simulate Gravitational Waves Churned By Collision Of Black Holes
April 20, 2006 NASA scientists have reached a breakthrough in computer modeling that allows them to simulate what gravitational waves from merging black holes look like. The three-dimensional simulations, the ... > full story -
Anti-Gravity Effect? Gravitational Equivalent Of A Magnetic Field Measured In Lab
March 25, 2006 Scientists funded by the European Space Agency have measured the gravitational equivalent of a magnetic field for the first time in a laboratory. Under certain special conditions the effect is much ... > full story -
LIGO Kicks Into High Gear For Gravitational-Wave Search With 18-Month Observation Run
March 20, 2006 The quest to detect and study gravitational waves with the NSF-funded Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is now in the fourth month of its first sustained science run since ... > full story -
Einstein's Theory 'Improved'?
February 14, 2006 A Chinese astronomer from the University of St Andrews has fine-tuned Einstein's groundbreaking theory of gravity, creating a 'simple' theory which could solve a dark mystery that has baffled ... > full story -
Einstein Was Right (Again): NIST And MIT Confirm That E=mc2
December 26, 2005 Albert Einstein was correct in his prediction that E=mc2, according to scientists at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Massachusetts ... > full story -
Einstein's Relativity Theory Proven With The 'Lead' Of A Pencil
November 10, 2005 Scientists at The University of Manchester have discovered a new way to test Einstein's theory of relativity using the 'lead' of a pencil. Until now it was only possible to test the theory by ... > full story -
Putting Relativity To The Test, NASA's Gravity Probe B Experiment Is One Step Away From Revealing If Einstein Was Right
October 7, 2005 Almost 90 years after Einstein postulated his general theory of relativity -- our current theory of gravity -- scientists have finally finished collecting the data that will put this theory to an ... > full story -
Physicists Say Universe Evolution Favored Three And Seven Dimensions
October 3, 2005 Physicists who work with a concept called string theory envision our universe as an eerie place with at least nine spatial dimensions, six of them hidden from us, perhaps curled up in some way so ... > full story
