A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

Another point: the First World War was raging and the pacifist Einstein, like Hilbert and Max Planck, had drawn up a memorandum that rejected the plans of the victory-minded annexationists in the ...

Binary neutron star mergers, cosmic collisions between two very dense stellar remnants made up predominantly of neutrons, have been the topic of numerous astrophysics studies due to their fascinating ...

The principle of wave-particle duality is crucial in quantum physics, highlighting the dual nature of light and matter and ...

Albert Einstein did not merely drift away from school; he broke from it with the quiet force of a mind unwilling to be shackled. At fifteen, he walked out of Munich’s Luitpold Gymnasium–a ...

The Max Planck Symposium is an intensive, two-day career conference serving as a platform to connect international Max Planck Alumni and Max Planck Early Career Researchers of all disciplines and ...

A computer simulation shows how two neutron stars of unequal mass merge, form a black hole and spit out a jet of high energy matter.

A tank passes the Albert Einstein Memorial during the June 14 military parade in Washington, D.C. Photo by Kevin Carter/Getty Images Berks based the monument on a small model he created after ...

<p>In 1904, Albert Einstein, then an obscure young man of 25, could be seen daily in the late afternoon wheeling a baby carriage on the streets of Bern, Switzerland, halting now and then ...

Scientists have developed the longest and most complex simulation to date of a binary neutron star collision that results in the formation of a black hole and a jet. The breakthrough will massively ...
