NASA's Gravity Probe B Confirms Two Einstein Space-Time Theories
May 4, 2011 — NASA's Gravity Probe B (GP-B) mission has confirmed two key predictions derived from Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which the spacecraft was designed to test. The experiment, ... > full story -
Primordial Weirdness: Did the Early Universe Have One Dimension? Scientists Outline Test for Theory
April 20, 2011 — Did the early universe have just one spatial dimension? That's the mind-boggling concept at the heart of a new theory. Researchers now describe a test that could prove or disprove the "vanishing ... > full story -
Probing the Laws of Gravity: A Gravity Resonance Method
April 18, 2011 — Quantum mechanical methods can now be used to study gravity. Scientists in Austria have developed a new measurement method that allows them to test the fundamental theories of ... > full story -
Physicists Discover New Way to Visualize Warped Space and Time
April 11, 2011 — When black holes slam into each other, the surrounding space and time surge and undulate like a heaving sea during a storm. This warping of space and time is so complicated that physicists haven't ... > full story -
Large Hadron Collider Could Be World's First Time Machine, Researchers' Theory Suggests
March 15, 2011 — If the latest theory of Tom Weiler and Chui Man Ho is right, the Large Hadron Collider -- the world's largest atom smasher that started regular operation last year -- could be the first machine ... > full story -
Black Holes: A Model for Superconductors?
March 2, 2011 — Black holes are some of the heaviest objects in the universe. Electrons are some of the lightest. Now physicists have shown how charged black holes can be used to model the behavior of interacting ... > full story -
Wave-Generated 'White Hole' Boosts Hawking Radiation Theory, Physicists Find
January 18, 2011 — A team of physicists and engineers has designed a experiment featuring a trough of flowing water to help bolster a 35-year-old theory proposed by eminent physicist Stephen ... > full story -
Neutron Stars and String Theory in a Lab: Chilled Atoms Give Clues to Deep Space and Particle Physics
December 9, 2010 — Using lasers to contain some ultra-chilled atoms, a team of scientists has measured the viscosity or stickiness of a gas often considered to be the sixth state of matter. The measurements verify that ... > full story -
Distribution of Gravitational Wave Sources Predicted
December 2, 2010 — A pair of neutron stars spiraling toward each other until they merge in a violent explosion should produce detectable gravitational waves. A new study predicts for the first time where such mergers ... > full story -
Mathematical Problems Recast as Physics Questions, Provide New Tools for Old Quandaries
November 16, 2010 — A scientist with an interdisciplinary bent has taken two well-known problems in mathematics and reformulated them as a physics question, offering new tools to solve challenges relevant to a host of ... > full story
