The MICROSCOPE mission tested the weak equivalence principle with free-falling objects in a satellite. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...
In 2019, the MAGIC telescopes detected the first Gamma Ray Burst at very high energies. This was the most intense gamma-radiation ever obtained from such a cosmic object. But the GRB data have more to ...
Scientists could soon test Einstein's theory of general relativity by measuring the distortion of time. General relativity states that gravity is the result of mass warping the fabric of space and ...
The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched one of its most precise science experiments to date — the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES)—to the International Space Station (ISS). This is no ...
Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Pulsars are a special class of neutron stars that spin very quickly on their axes, releasing pulses of radio waves. These beats are so precise that pulsars are only beaten as accurate clocks by some ...

Astronomers spot a magnetar’s birth using a general relativity effect
Astronomers have identified the birth of a magnetar, a hyper-magnetized neutron star, by detecting a subtle warping of ...
General Relativity, Einstein’s revolutionary theory of gravity, reinterprets gravitational interactions as phenomena emerging from the curvature of spacetime rather than as forces in the traditional ...
