On the General Theory of Relativity's 100th anniversary, a new initiative launched to celebrate perhaps the most well-known Nobel Laureate in history. The Einstein Legacy Project will include an archives and visitors center, the world's first 3D-printed book, and an idea competition.

60th anniversary of the death of Albert Einstein: How his general relativity theory changed the world.
How has our picture of the universe developed in the history of cosmology?
Wigner was not only one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century – he is also one of the least known. The modest genius died twenty years ago.
