Recent decades have seen a rise in the use of physics methods to study different societal
phenomena. This development has been due to physicists venturing outside of their …

The discovery of the first pulsar in a binary star system, the Hulse–Taylor pulsar, 50 years
ago opened up an entirely new field of experimental gravity. For the first time it was possible …

For the last 75 years several studies have been reporting on the physical properties of
niobium oxides, but there is still many contradictory, inconsistent and insufficient information …

The detection of gravitational waves from binary black-hole mergers by the LIGO–Virgo
Collaboration marks the dawn of an era when general-relativistic dynamics in its most …

A groundbreaking text and reference book on twenty-first-century classical physics and its
applications This first-year graduate-level text and reference book covers the fundamental …

In this review we present a thoroughly comprehensive survey of recent work on modified
theories of gravity and their cosmological consequences. Amongst other things, we cover …

Neutron stars and quark stars are ideal laboratories to study fundamental physics at supra
nuclear densities and strong gravitational fields. Astrophysical observables, however …

One century after its formulation, Einstein's general relativity (GR) has made remarkable
predictions and turned out to be compatible with all experimental tests. Most of these tests …

The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoretical frameworks for
analyzing them is reviewed and updated. Einstein's equivalence principle (EEP) is well …

The exterior gravitational field of a slowly rotating neutron star can be characterized by its
multipole moments, the first few being the neutron star mass, moment of inertia, and …
