Several physicists have proposed theories that try to unite quantum mechanics with Einstein’s general theory of relativity. But a new study goes one step ahead; it not only links the two theories but ...

It stands among the most famous theories ever created, but the general theory of relativity did not spring into being with a single, astonishing paper like the special theory of relativity in 1905.

I have covered several different software packages for doing scientific computation in Linux Journal, but I haven't spent as much time describing available libraries and the kind of work that can be ...
