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 ...

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

We invite students to write public-facing letters to people or groups about issues that matter to them. Contest dates: March 12 to April 16, 2025. By The Learning Network What can we learn from ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
