New Physics Research to Deepen Understanding of the Universe
June 22, 2011 Physicists in the UK are beginning a new research project which aims to improve our understanding of the universe and the material within it. They also hope that their work will enable better ... > full story -
Physicists Apply Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to Superconducting Circuits
June 10, 2011 Using Einstein's general theory of relativity, scientists have demonstrated that the Josephson junction could be reproduced. The Josephson junction, a device that was first discovered by Brian David ... > full story -
New Hope of Detecting Gravitational Waves: Final Piece of Einstein's Jigsaw Puzzle
May 26, 2011 Direct evidence of the existence of gravitational waves is something that has long eluded researchers. However, new research has suggested that adding just one of the proposed detectors in Japan, ... > full story -
Dark Energy Is Driving Universe Apart: NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer Finds Dark Energy Repulsive
May 19, 2011 A five-year survey of 200,000 galaxies, stretching back seven billion years in cosmic time, has led to one of the best independent confirmations that dark energy is driving our universe apart at ... > full story -
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
