A 12-year-old Indian-origin girl in UK has stunned everyone after she scored an incredible 162 on her IQ test - even higher than Einstein and Stephen Hawking. Neha Ramu, daughter of an Indian doctor couple, achieved a score of 162 on a Mensa IQ test - the highest score possible for her age. ...

A little known Austrian physicist may have contributed to Einstein's famous equation E=mc2, US scientists have claimed. In a study to be published in the European Physical Journal H, Stephen Boughn from Haverford College in Pensylvannia and Tony Rothman from Princeton University in New Jersey argue how Austrian physicist Friedrich Hasenohrl's work, for which he now receives little credit, may have contributed to the equation E=mc2. ...

Physicist Albert Einstein's brain, though of average size, contained an unusually high number of folds which may have provided the genius with the ability to think in "extraordinary ways", scientists claim. ...

Washington: Physicist Albert Einstein's brain had an "extraordinary" prefrontal cortex - unlike those of most people - which may have contributed to his remarkable genius, a new study has claimed. According to the study led by Florida State University evolutionary anthropologist Dean Falk, portions of Einstein's brain have been found to be unlike those of most people and could be related to his extraordinary cognitive abilities. Falk and his colleagues...

London: A third of primary school children in the UK believe Albert Einstein is a reality TV star and one-fourth of them think Stephen Hawking is a hairdresser, a new study has found. However, 68 per cent were correctly able to identify Mark Zuckerberg as the founder of social networking site Facebook. As many as 29 per cent kids think they have recently seen Einstein, who died in 1955, on...

London: With an IQ of 162, a 12-year-old schoolgirl in UK has been rated brainier than even Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. Olivia Manning, from Liverpool, has been accepted into Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world after she got a score of 162 in an intelligence test. Her score is not only two points better than German genius Einstein and physicist Hawking, it puts her...

Chicago: The brain that revolutionised physics now can be downloaded as an app for $9.99. But it won't help you win at Angry Birds. While Albert Einstein's genius isn't included, an exclusive iPad application launched on Tuesday promises to make detailed images of his brain more accessible to scientists than ever before. Teachers, students and anyone who's curious also can get a look. A medical museum under development in Chicago...

London:) The true nature of Albert Einstein's theory that time is a relative concept and the higher you live above sea level, the faster you should age, has been demonstrated with the world's most accurate clock for the first time. Experts found that time really does run more quickly the higher you are - just as Einstein predicted, The Independent reported on Tuesday. They monitored two atomic clocks positioned just...

London: Prof Albert Einstein, who laid down major fundamentals in physics, may have starved his wife of sex by demanding her to obey a cruel list of rules, a new book has claimed. According to the book, titled 'Einstein: His Life and Universe', the scientist barred his wife Mileva Maric from sitting with him or going out together - and even ordered her saying, "Stop talking to me if I...

Jerusalem: A website launched by a university in Israel has catalogued more than 80,000 of Albert Einstein's collected papers and notes and personal correspondence, including love letters. The website's launch - marked simultaneously in Israel, at The Einstein Papers Project at the California Institute of Technology, and at Israeli embassies worldwide - commemorated Einstein's 133rd birthday March 14 also observed as Israel's National Science Day, Xinhua reported. Dalia Mendelsson, who...

Jerusalem: All 80,000 items in Albert Einstein's archives, including personal correspondence with half a dozen lovers and a poignant postcard to his ailing mother, are going online. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which owns the Einstein collection, is slowly uploading high resolution photographs of scientific papers, letters on social issues including nuclear disarmament and the Arab-Israeli conflict, and other texts. Archivists said today's launch of the online repository will give...

Geneva/Chicago: The world of science was upended last year when an experiment appeared to show one of Einstein's fundamental theories was wrong - but now the lab behind it says the result could have been caused by a loose cable. Physicists at the CERN research institute near Geneva appeared to contradict Albert Einstein's 1905 Special Theory of Relativity last year when they reported that sub-atomic particles called neutrinos could travel...

Thiruvananthapuram: Decades before India embarked on its quest for superpower status, the tiny princely state of Travancore aimed it high in higher education and even made an unsuccessful bid to enlist the services of great physicist Albert Einstein as Vice Chancellor of its fledgling university for a monthly pay of Rs 6,000. The Nobel prize winning scientist,considered as the founder of modern physics and who developed the theory of general...

Scientists, who in September said they discovered sub-atomic particles can travel faster than light, have fine tuned their experiment and the result seems to confirm the startling finding. ...

New Delhi: Nothing travels faster than light, that is one of Physics' most basic laws. Now scientists say they have seen something that can and that can prove that Einstein could actually have been wrong. Scientists at the CERN Nuclear research centre in Geneva fired neutrinos, which are tiny sub atomic particles, from their lab to another one, 730 km away. The neutrinos hit the target faster than even light...
