Osaka, Japan - A team of researchers at Osaka University has investigated a new method for generating nuclear fusion power, showing that the relativistic effect of ultra-intense laser light improves ...

The study of relativistic effects in gravitational fields remains at the forefront of physics research, refining our comprehension of space‐time and its intricate interplay with matter. Notably, ...

Researchers at Osaka University demonstrate the relativistic contraction of an electric field produced by fast-moving charged particles, as predicted by Einstein’s theory, which can help improve ...

Ask about some mind-bending physics, and people will tend to focus on the many mind-bending oddities of quantum mechanics. But there’s no shortage of strangeness in another one of physics’ cornerstone ...

Observations made with ESO's Very Large Telescope have for the first time clearly revealed the effects of Einstein's general relativity on the motion of a star passing through the extreme ...

For the past two decades, astronomers have been testing Einstein’s general theory of relativity using an exquisite celestial laboratory located thousands of light-years away, in the direction of the ...

The universe comes with a built‑in speed cap, a hard limit that shapes everything from how stars shine to how cause and ...

The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way is the most extreme astrophysical object located within a million light-years of Earth. With an estimated four million solar masses, it's the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you were a physicist in the early 20th century, there would have ...
