Superconductivity, Einstein team up
UC SANTA BARBARA (US) — Scientists have used Einstein’s theory of relativity to demonstrate it is possible to reproduce the Josephson junction, a main ingredient in superconductivity applications. Continue…

New model gives quantum theory a shove
SYRACUSE U. (US)—Physicists recently developed a new theoretical model to explain how, under certain rare conditions, more than one electron can simultaneously occupy the same quantum state. (more…)

Physicists prove Einstein wrong
U. TEXAS-AUSTIN (US)—A century after Albert Einstein said we would never be able to observe the instantaneous velocity of tiny particles as they randomly shake and shimmy, so called Brownian motion, physicists have done just that. (more…)

Einstein validated on cosmic scale
PRINCETON / UC BERKELEY (US)—An analysis of more than 70,000 galaxies demonstrates that the universe—at least up to a distance of 3.5 billion light years from Earth—plays by the rules set out 95 years ago by Albert Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity. (more…)

Race ends in dead heat; Einstein wins
STANFORD (US)—Racing across the universe for the last 7.3 billion years, two gamma-ray photons arrived at NASA’s orbiting Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope within nine-tenths of a second of one another. The dead-heat finish may stoke the fires of debate among physicists over Einstein’s special theory of relativity because one of the photons possessed a million times more energy than the other.

Dark energy model suggests frozen universe
VANDERBILT (US)—Imagine a time when the entire universe froze. According to a new model for dark energy, that is essentially what happened about 11.5 billion years ago, when the universe was a quarter of the size it is today. (more…)
