In 1905 Albert Einstein had what is known as his ‘Miracle Year.’ In just twelve months the 26-year-old genius published a series of four papers that expounded special relativity, introduced E ...

Einstein’s legendary equivalence between mass and energy, given the simple formula E=mc^2, is familiar even to schoolchildren. At times, it simply stands as a placeholder for science — like in ...

Einstein spent nearly all his time thinking, and very little time doing. Today, we do just the opposite–and it’s working against innovation. Here’s how to get your ratio right. When asked ...

Einstein’s famous theory of relativity (E=MC2) celebrates its 110th anniversary this year. This elegant formula helped us understand how the world works and has impacted scientists and ...

A letter penned by Albert Einstein in which he wrote down his famous 'E = mc²' mass–energy equivalence formula has sold at auction for the princely sum of $1.2 million after a furious bidding war.

As the engine burns gasoline to produce energy in the form of motion, it does so by converting some of the gasoline's mass into energy, in accord with Einstein's formula. When you use your MP3 ...

Albert Einstein grappled with the implications of his revolutionary special theory of relativity and came to a startling conclusion: mass and energy are one, related by the formula E = mc2.

Here’s how it works. Two advice-filled notes Albert Einstein wrote to a bellboy in Japan 95 years ago, including one that advocated for "a calm and modest life," fetched more than $1.5 million ...

Pioneer of general relativity and gravitational-wave theories saw her work confirmed by observations 65 years later.
