In "Einstein's Great Mistake," author David Bodanis explores what we owe Einstein today — and how much more he might have achieved if not for his all-too-human flaws.

An autographed photo of Albert Einstein, showing the physicist in a pensive pose, is going up for auction.

Can two black holes be born from a single star? A new idea could explain the merger of two black holes that led to the historic first direct detection of gravitational waves.

The first-ever direct detection of gravitational waves will open up an entirely new window on the universe, researchers say.

Few people can hope to achieve the feats of genius Albert Einstein, but now, there may at least be a way to write like the famous physicist, thanks to a font styled after his handwriting.

The famous theory, which Einstein published in 1915, remains the bedrock upon which scientists' understanding of the origin and evolution of the universe rests.
