Scientists have demonstrated that Einstein's theory of general relativity is correct to a remarkable degree of accuracy, despite having been around for more than a century. The team behind the ...

The cosmos is a unique laboratory for testing the laws of physics, in particular those of Euler and Einstein. Euler described the movements of celestial objects, while Einstein described the way in ...

In 2016, a team of French physicists sent an ultra-sensitive, drag-free satellite called MICROSCOPE into space to study a 100-year old theory of Einstein’s that could change everything we know about ...

A mission which will ultimately test Einstein’s Theory of General Relatively and provide us with a detailed insight into the behaviour of some of the most exotic objects in the Universe, supermassive ...

Physicist Kent Yagi, an associate professor with the University of Virginia’s College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences has won a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation, one of the ...

Sharper views of black holes are turning what once looked like a fuzzy cosmic icon into a precision tool for testing gravity itself. As astronomers refine the first images of these extreme objects, ...

The MICROSCOPE mission tested the weak equivalence principle with free-falling objects in a satellite. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...
