Einstein has long been the go-to guy when you think “genius,” but he was once simply the adored baby of doting parents. That’s where Jennifer Berne’s new picture-book biography begins, and ...

At the age of 16, Albert Einstein famously envisioned running alongside a beam of light, which resulted in his Special Theory of Relativity: time slows down. “To raise new questions, new ...

Astronomers have discovered a stunning, rare example of an "Einstein cross" splitting and magnifying light from the far depths of the universe.

Discover how Einstein’s theory of special relativity reshaped physics by linking space, time, mass, and energy in a universe governed by the speed of light.

Happy Birthday Albert Einstein! I thought today would be a great day to alert our readers to a wonderful new book available on April 23rd this year - * On A Beam of Light *by Jennifer Berne and ...

Einstein stated that the two forces are actually identical. Furthermore, if you were in the elevator accelerating upward and a beam of light entered the elevator parallel to the floor, the light ...

Einstein's thought experiments help conceptualize complex scientific ideas for people without academic backgrounds using real-life scenarios and data.

Einstein’s question, in effect, added a complication to Galileo’s imagery: What if the object descending from the top of the mast wasn’t a rock but a beam of light?

“An observer recording the play of light on the mirrors will be able to detect the slightest variation in the velocity of the beams through the longer and the shorter legs of the rectangle. If ...

Instead of a conventional laser beam with a Gaussian intensity distribution, they considered “twisted” light. This is light with a wavefront that twists around its axis of travel like a corkscrew.
