In this last part of our series on recently digitized books from the Wenner Collection, we are focusing on works that ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that describe gravity, quantum fields and the structure of spacetime now allow ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

From smashing particles together to analyzing the properties of a supermassive black hole, much of physics research takes place far beyond the realm of our everyday experience. However, there is one ...

Gravitational physics has become a truly experimental science as tests of the special and general theories of relativity reach new levels of precision Right on time When I was a first-term graduate ...

A RATHER glib distinction is often made between the two pillars of modern physics. Quantum mechanics is the physics of the very small, while general relativity is the physics of the very large. That’s ...

The rapid acceleration of the universe’s expansion continues to challenge our understanding of fundamental physics. Why the ...
