Researchers have developed a method to measure gravity at a microscopic level, marking a significant advancement in understanding quantum gravity. Credit: SciTechDaily.comPhysicists successfully measure gravity in the quantum world, detecting weak gravitational pull on a tiny particle with a new technique that uses levitating magnets, putting scientists closer to solving mysteries of the universe.Scientists are a step closer to unraveling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a…

Salesforce announced the public availability of the Einstein Copilot generative AI assistant just last week, and now the company is rolling out more AI products and developer programs at TrailblazerDX 2024, its developer conference. On March 6, the CRM giant rolled out: Einstein 1 Studio, which can be used to customize the Einstein AI assistant. A Slack Developer Program. Research on how tech leaders and IT workers perceive AI adoption. Einstein 1 Studio lets organizations customize the Einstein Copilot AI…

If you asked an astrophysicist what is yet to be discovered in the universe, there’s a good chance they’d paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld: It’s full of known unknowns. What Drew Noomi Rapace to Constellation?Besides the regular matter and energy we know and love, the universe is also composed of two big mysteries: dark energy and dark matter. Theoretical astrophysicists aim to tackle these unknowns by mathematically dreaming up objects that could address the gaps in our knowledge. Thus, in research published in Classical and…

The awards juggernaut Oppenheimer provides a blockbuster treatment of one scientist’s profoundly mixed feelings regarding his role in the creation of the atomic bomb, and its subsequent use in destroying the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Now Netflix has dropped a much slimmer but thematically similar docudrama, Einstein and the Bomb, that packs a wallop in detailing how the man widely considered the father of atomic energy came to influence the innovations of the Manhattan Project, and how he lived to…

According to findings by physicists at Goethe University Frankfurt, a gravastar could look like a matryoshka doll. Credit: Daniel Jampolski and Luciano Rezzolla Einstein's inexhaustible field equations just keep on predicting weird stellar objects, and the latest one is a doozy—so strap on your helmet, inside of which is another helmet, encasing still yet another helmet. This headgear is modeled on a weird solution to the field…

Einstein And The Bomb Documentary ( Photo Credit – Netflix ) Trust Netflix when it comes to releasing documentaries that will startle everyone. Earlier, the platform released Lover, Stalker, Killer, which got everyone talking about the twisted love and crime documentary. The latest one that has blown everyone’s mind is Einstein and the Bomb. The documentary film has used archival footage of the renowned physicist and presented the narrative with dramatic recreation. In this article, we will tell you everything you…

By National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences January 11, 2024The Einstein Probe, China’s new satellite equipped with advanced X-ray telescopes, is set to explore mysterious and violent cosmic events. The mission aims to enhance our understanding of the universe, focusing on transient phenomena like supernovas and black holes.

I often think of Einstein when I see Orry. To put these two proper nouns in the same sentence is unexpected, of course – there’s the ubiquitous recall value of Einstein’s name and there’s the contrast of “Orry? Orry who?” By this I mean that Einstein is remembered for something, even though many might not know what that something is, while no one seems to have yet figured out why Orry is famous. Orry being himself. (Instagram: Orry1) “Einstein’s brain is a mythical object,” writes Roland Barthes in his essay…

In November 2022 a colleague of mine casually asked what I was working on. My dazed answer reflected the swirl of ideas that was consuming all my mental energy at the time: “Actually, I think the solution to a major open problem just fell into my lap.” A week before, I had received an e-mail asking me to look at a shape. That was the first time I saw “the hat,” an unassuming polygon that turned out to be the culmination of a decades-long mathematical quest.The e-mail came from David Smith, someone I knew from a small…

The Einstein Probe, an X-ray telescope managed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, will be ready to launch next month. The probe will look for transient events in X-ray light and try to answer some fundamental questions about black holes and gravitational waves.Gizmodo’s Top Five Gadgets of 2023Hubble, Chandra, Spitzer, and Webb. Undoubtedly iconic names, but now, in a long overdue development, we’re finally going to have a space-based telescope named after the famed German-born theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein.The…
