Technion researchers have found an effective solution to the famous age-old, three-body problem in physics. The three-body problem is one of the oldest problems in…
Dark matter simulation. Credit: Ralf Kaehler/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory For many years now, astronomers and physicists have been in a conflict. Is the mysterious dark…
The temporal evolution of the universe, from the Big Bang to the present, is described by Einstein’s field equations of general relativity. However, there are…
How did the universe begin? How does quantum mechanics, the study of the smallest things relate to gravity and the study of big things? These…
Trapped atoms, suspended aloft on a lattice of laser light for as long as 20 seconds, allow for highly sensitive measurements of gravity, according to…
