Extending Einstein's Theory Beyond Light Speed
October 10, 2012 — Applied mathematicians have extended Einstein’s theory of special relativity to work beyond the speed of ... > full story -
Dark Energy Is Real, Say Astronomers
September 12, 2012 — Dark energy, a mysterious substance thought to be speeding up the expansion of the Universe is really there, according to a team of astronomers. After a two-year study, scientists conclude that the ... > full story -
Mathematicians Offer Unified Theory of Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Altering Einstein Field Equations
September 6, 2012 — A pair of mathematicians have proposed a unified theory of dark matter and dark energy that alters Einstein's equations describing the fundamentals of gravity. They suggest the law of energy and ... > full story -
'Cry' of a Shredded Star Heralds a New Era for Testing Relativity
August 2, 2012 — Last year, astronomers discovered a quiescent black hole in a distant galaxy that erupted after shredding and consuming a passing star. Now researchers have identified a distinctive X-ray signal ... > full story -
A Wrinkle in Space-Time: Math Shows How Shockwaves Could Crinkle Space
July 19, 2012 — Mathematicians have come up with a new way to crinkle up the fabric of space-time -- at least in ... > full story -
A Roll of the Dice: Quantum Mechanics Researchers Show That Nature Is Unpredictable
July 9, 2012 — Many of the predictions we make in everyday life are vague, and we often get them wrong because we have incomplete information, such as when we predict the weather. But in quantum mechanics, even if ... > full story -
Black Holes as Particle Detectors
June 18, 2012 — Black holes could serve as particle detectors, say scientists. Axions, a hypothetical but not improbable kind of particles, could accumulate around a black hole, creating a "boson cloud". After some ... > full story -
Hall Effect at the Speed of Light: How Can You Demonstrate Relativistic Effects With Your Mobile Phone?
May 21, 2012 — The relativistic Hall effect describing objects rotating at speeds comparable with the speed of light has now been ... > full story -
First Light: Researchers Develop New Way to Generate Superluminal Pulses
May 3, 2012 — Researchers have developed a novel way of producing light pulses that are "superluminal" -- in some sense they travel faster than the speed of light. The new method could be used to improve the ... > full story -
Clocking an Accelerating Universe: First Results from BOSS
March 30, 2012 — First spectroscopic results from BOSS give the most detailed look yet at the time when dark energy turned on some six billion light years ago, as the expansion of the universe was slipping from the ... > full storyMore:
