The loudest black hole collision ever recorded has just given Einstein’s theory of general relativity its hardest test so far. The event, dubbed GW250114, produced a record-smashing signal-to-noise ...

Supermassive black holes rarely travel alone. Most large galaxies hide one at the center, and when galaxies collide, the two ...

This talk tells the story of symmetry in theoretical physics, and its interplay with developments in our understanding of gravity over the years. In this talk, McNamara explores the power of symmetry ...

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...

Albert Einsteins enduring message emphasises the power of persistent questioning and curiosity as the driving forces behind progress and innovation. His philosophy highlights the importance of ...

Compound interest, hailed by Albert Einstein as the eighth wonder of the world, fuels investment growth by earning interest ...

The Andromeda Paradox exposes a troubling idea hidden inside Einstein’s relativity. It suggests that two observers, moving differently, may disagree on what events are happening right now — even ...

Sabrina González Pasterski, a physicist with Cuban roots and an academic background from MIT and Harvard, seeks to clarify a media label that's been ...

On 2 July, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose brightness varied rapidly during a routine sky survey. Its unusual signal ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

Supermassive black hole binaries form naturally when galaxies merge, but scientists have only confidently observed a very few of these systems that are widely separated. Black hole binaries that ...

Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.
