Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts gravitational memory, where space-time retains imprints from passing gravitational waves. Researchers are exploring if the cosmic microwave ...

These were derived in part from classical mechanics, from applying the precepts of Albert Einstein’s 1905 special theory of relativity to atomic electrons, and by introducing more quantum ideas ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity can be summed up in just 12 words: “Space-time tells matter how to move; matter tells space-time how to curve”. But this short description from the ...

It was the sweet pie and pie Thursday at Vaca Pena Middle School in Vacaville. No, not National Pie Day, which came and went Jan. 23, but the much-anticipated annual Pie Day, of whipped cream swirled ...

Researchers from Würzburg have experimentally demonstrated a quantum tornado for the first time by refining an established ...

This week marks the fifth anniversary of the pandemic. What are your most lasting memories? How has it shaped your life and the world around you? By Jeremy Engle What do you notice about the ...

Researchers have experimentally demonstrated a quantum tornado. Electrons form vortices in the momentum space of the quantum semi-metal tantalum arsenide.

For the first time, scientists have experimentally confirmed that electrons can form tornado-like structures in momentum ...

The breakthrough experiments revealed that the quantum vortex is created by orbital angular momentum—electrons' circular motion around atomic nuclei ... described by Albert Einstein and ...
