Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth. Of the more ...

When students learn that Albert Einstein won a Nobel Prize, the assumption feels automatic: relativity. The bending of space and time. The theory that redefined gravity and reshaped modern physics.

Ripples in space-time from a pair of merging black holes have been recorded in unprecedented detail, enabling physicists to test predictions of general relativity ...

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity to its toughest test yet.

Exploring the quantum nature of gravity requires systems that balance quantum control and gravitational interaction, most plausibly within the microgram-to-milligram mass range. Here, the authors ...

Physicists artificially slowed down time to reveal the bizarre Terrell-Penrose effect, a consequence of special relativity. This image from the experiment shows a sphere seemingly moving at 99.9 ...

The big bang wasn’t the start of everything, but it has been impossible to see what came before. Now a new kind of cosmology is lifting the veil on the beginning of time ...

CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION — Despite the number of struggles Relativity Space has faced trying to get the world’s first 3D-printed rocket off the ground, it finally succeeded Wednesday night, ...

General Atomics is a defense and diversified technologies company, founded in 1955 as a Division of General Dynamics and acquired by the Blue family in 1986. GA and affiliated companies operate on ...
