Albert Einstein postulated in his 1905 theory of special relativity that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant. Ever ...

According to new research, gravity may have been able to create light. During expansion, right after the Big Bang, gravitational waves may have built on each other to create huge standing waves of ...

This performance makes complex scientific concepts human and accessible. Experience a contemporary work by Ballet Des Moines exploring the beauty and wonder of space through ethereal imagery, abstract ...

A team of physicists has uncovered a surprising new way to explore one of science's greatest challenges: uniting the two fundamental theories that explain how our universe works—Einstein's theory of ...

Explore the intense reality of living on a high-gravity planet and the mystery behind sudden bursts of blue light detected by ...

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Scientists have attempted to disprove Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity for the better part of a century. After testing and confirming Einstein’s prediction in 2002 that ...

Astrophysicists talk a lot about gravitational lensing, one of the more fun aspects of light’s infamous particle-wave duality. The phenomenon shows, in predictable and measurable ways, how the tiny ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

We explore if there is a true connection between light and gravity. We know that gravity exerts its pull on light, and we have an explanation for why. Actually, we have multiple explanations that all ...

Researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) have developed a growing robot, named FiloBot, that responds to gravity and light by autonomously adopting some of the behaviors of climbing ...
