Pair of Aluminum Atomic Clocks Reveal Einstein's Relativity at a Personal Scale
September 23, 2010 Scientists have known for decades that time passes faster at higher elevations, and more slowly when you move faster, curious aspects of Einstein's theories of relativity. Physicists have now used a ... > full story -
Researchers Discover How to Conduct First Test of 'Untestable' String Theory
September 1, 2010 Researchers have planned how to carry out the first experimental test of string theory. String theory was originally developed to describe the fundamental particles and forces that make up our ... > full story -
Physicists Use Offshoot of String Theory to Describe Puzzling Behavior of Superconductors
August 5, 2010 Physicists have now used the connection between quantum and gravitational mechanics, known as gauge/gravity duality to describe a specific physical phenomenon -- the behavior of a type of ... > full story -
Physicists Develop Model That Pushes Limits of Quantum Theory, Relativity
August 3, 2010 Physicists recently developed a new theoretical model to explain how the Pauli exclusion principle can be violated and how, under certain rare conditions, more than one electron can simultaneously ... > full story -
Test of Quantum Field Theory and Bose-Einstein Statistics of Photons: Bosons Aren't Fermions, Not Even a Little Bit
June 25, 2010 Scientists have tested one of the major theoretical pillars of quantum field theory, the spin-statistics theorem. With a confidence level of 100 billion to one, they found that photons really are ... > full story -
New 'Fix' for Cosmic Clocks Could Help Uncover Ripples in Space-Time
June 24, 2010 Scientists have developed a promising new technique which could turn pulsars -- superb natural cosmic clocks -- into even more accurate time-keepers. This important advance could improve the search ... > full story -
Quantum Gas in Free Fall: Bose-Einstein Condensate at Zero Gravity
June 22, 2010 Physicists have produced a Bose-Einstein condensate at zero gravity -- a step towards extremely sensitive quantum sensors for ... > full story -
Our Universe at Home Within a Larger Universe? So Suggests Physicist's Wormhole Research
April 6, 2010 Could our universe be located within the interior of a wormhole which itself is part of a black hole that lies within a much larger ... > full story -
No 'Simple Theory of Everything' Inside the Enigmatic E8, Researcher Says
March 26, 2010 The "exceptionally simple theory of everything," proposed by surfing physicist Garrett Lisi, does not hold water, according to some mathematicians. Centered on the elegant E8 structure, they use ... > full story -
Galaxy Study Validates General Relativity on Cosmic Scale, Existence of Dark Matter
March 10, 2010 While general relativity describes well the behavior of the solar system, Einstein's theory of gravity and spacetime has not been tested on cosmological scales. Now, a team has analyzed data on ... > full story
