China's space attempt may be fueled by the newly-emerging technology that the majority of scientists are now contesting. Chinese researchers are currently trying to build the "Emdrive" (electromagnetic drive), which would change all space propulsion systems in case it becomes functional. Basically, the tech... |

The refrigerator model proposed by Einstein was soon replaced with a better one, except now, as global needs change and technology improves, the savant's fridge doesn’t seem such a bad idea anymore, which is why scientists decided to "revive" the genius' electricity-free, environment-friendly icebox.M... |

In a recent book, physicist Joao Magueijo explains the principles of his varying-speed-of-light (VSL) theory, claiming that light can outrun itself. This idea of velocities beyond that of light has been discussed before, as two German scientists claim their quantum tunneling experiments proved it was possible. ... |

The letter sent by Albert Einstein to philosopher Eric Gutkind in January 1954 - " one year before the physicist's death" - detailing his beliefs about God and the Jewish people was auctioned on Thursday at Bloomsbury Auctions in London, and sold for the sum of 404,000 US dollars, including the buyer's prem... |

This is what Albert Einstein wrote in his letter to philosopher Eric Gutkind, in response to his receiving the book "Choose Life: The Biblical Call to Revolt". The letter was written on January 3, 1954, in German, and explains Einstein's personal beliefs regarding religion and the Jewish people; it was put on sa... |

In August 2002, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or LIGO, became operational and started looking for the elusive gravitational waves predicted by Albert Einstein. It collected a massive amount of data, probably including some gravitational waves, however when scientists were put to the dauntin... |

So I've heard... But what does that even mean? It all goes back to German physicist Albert Einstein, who formulated the theories of Special and General Relativity in the early 1900s, in order to construct a better model that would explain the unique characteristics of space and time. Thus, relativity means that ... |

Time is relative, we all know that; as we do things that we enjoy, time seems to pass faster, but when we have a bad experience, it seems to take forever for time to pass. Albert Einstein proved in 1905 that this was not happening only in our mind, but time was truly relative and dependent on the speed at which an ob... |

When it comes to robots, so far, Asia rules. They're a few generations over competitors in the field and every day, they keep coming with new and impressive creations. Sony's AIBO was the first robot dog to recognize words and objects and Honda's ASIMO is the first humanoid robot that can walk on two ... |

A new experiment performed in the US has proved that a Bose-Einstein condensate can exist in polaritons, a cooled system of particles. This is not the first time scientists claim to have the proof of its existence, but in similar previous applications many suspected that the coherence was in fact the effect of the l... |

It may sound strange, but Newton's theory of gravity predicts that it would be possible for three planets with equal masses to race around one another in a strange looking orbit the shape of figure 8. Einstein's more accurate theory of gravity, general relativity, was not sure to support such a weird orbit... |

Could it really be that a rapidly oscillating molecule is capable of slowing down its fall in a gravitational field, much like skydivers that increase the area of body parallel to the Earth to glide on the air current? Einstein's theory of general relativity states that the presence of matter in huge amounts (... |

The new precision tool with a variety of applications will serve to test Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and it's called atom interferometry. Interferometry is the science and technique of superposing (interfering) two or more waves, which creates an output wave different from the input waves, which in tu... |

Albert Einstein' general Theory of Relativity, published in 1915/16, unified special relativity and Newton's law of universal gravitation with the insight that gravitation is not due to a force but rather is a manifestation of curved space and time, with this curvature being produced by the mass-energy and... |

John Cramer, a physicist at the University of Washington, wants to test one of his controversial predictions, that says light particles can go backward in time. The test involves using a crystal to split a photon into two reduced-energy photons that, through careful manipulation, Cramer thinks could reveal a flash o... |

Sci-Fi fans are used to seeing virtual avatars that talk to you, answer your questions, and even do something more...physical. Remember the virtual doctor from "Star Trek - Voyager", or "Andromeda", or "Stargate Atlantis" with its very realistic virtual archive that turned out to be a real Ancient?Those of you for w... |
