- 1Einstein's 1941 Recording on Science as Humanity's Common Language Resurfaces●The Common Language of Science: Einstein's Clarion Call to Divided Humanity in a Rare 1941 Recording https://www.themarg
A rare 1941 recording of Albert Einstein is being shared again, in which he argues that science offers a common language capable of uniting a divided humanity. The remarks, made during the Second World War, frame scientific thinking as a bridge across political and cultural divides. Listeners are drawing parallels between the wartime moment Einstein spoke in and today's fractured global climate.
- 2"Atomic Cannon" Experiment Could Challenge Einstein's Theory of Gravity▼This “Atomic Cannon” Could Challenge Einstein’s Theory of Gravity
Scientists are promoting a proposed experiment, nicknamed the "atomic cannon," that would test gravity with unprecedented precision using atoms. If results deviate from predictions, it could reveal cracks in Einstein's general theory of relativity and point toward new physics. Coverage highlights the potential for a major shift in how physicists understand gravity.
- 3URI's Feinstein College of Education Pushes Global Perspectives in Teacher Training▼Think Global, Act Local: Transforming Education Through Global Perspectives – Feinstein College of Education
The University of Rhode Island's Feinstein College of Education is promoting an initiative called "Think Global, Act Local: Transforming Education Through Global Perspectives." The effort encourages educators to apply global viewpoints to teaching while making an impact in their own communities, reflecting a broader push in education circles to internationalise teacher preparation and classroom practice.
- 4Francis Collins reflects on finding faith through science▼Francis Collins reflects on finding faith through science at Weinstein-Rosenthal Forum
Francis Collins, the geneticist who led the Human Genome Project and later directed the US National Institutes of Health, spoke at the Weinstein-Rosenthal Forum about how his scientific work led him to religious faith. He discussed the relationship between science and belief, drawing on his own journey from being an atheist to becoming a Christian, and argued that the two are compatible rather than in conflict.

A book spotlight from the American Institute of Physics highlights a new title examining how scientists have tested Einstein's theories of relativity. The feature, published on the institute's website, draws attention to the ongoing experimental and historical work behind verifying Einstein's ideas about gravity, space, and time.
- 6Einstein's Relativity Listed Among Five Overlooked Nobel-Level Physics Breakthroughs▼Einstein’s Relativity Among Five Nobel-Level Physics Breakthroughs Overlooked by Science
A report from DongA Science says Einstein's theory of relativity is among five physics discoveries widely considered worthy of a Nobel Prize that never received one. The piece argues that several landmark breakthroughs in physics were passed over by the Nobel committee despite their transformative impact, with relativity the most prominent example.
