Is there a time of day or night at which nature's heaviest elementary particle stops obeying Einstein's rules? The answer to that question, as bizarre as it seems, could tell scientists something ...

A flash of powerful X-ray light coming from a nova explosion on a white dwarf star has caught the attention of astronomers using the Chinese–European Einstein Probe. This nova is especially ...

More than a century ago, Albert Einstein predicted that massive objects like large galaxies and clusters of galaxies act like giant lenses in space by bending light from distant objects.

Credit: Empa A strange molecular pattern, first mistaken for an error, led researchers to an unexpected discovery: molecules forming non-repeating structures similar to the einstein tiling problem.

Languages: English. Scientists have discovered an incredible new "Einstein Ring"—a type of intergalactic mirage formed when a massive galaxy warps the fabric of spacetime like a colossal lens.

Scientists have found a rare Einstein ring in "our cosmic backyard" using images from the Euclid space telescope. The discovery, published in the journal Astronomy And Astrophysics, is of a circle ...

Astronomers have identified the closest ever Einstein ring, a rare phenomenon where light from a further-off galaxy is bent by the gravity of a galaxy closer to Earth. The ring was previously ...
