Albert Einstein, the world renowned scientist, has been brought back to life in the form of an empathetic robot.  The robotic, rubberized version of Einstein's head and shoulders pushes the boundaries of automation by interacting with people through emotional nuances.The robot, which features Einstein's distinctive mustache, wowed onlookers at the Technology, Entertainment and Design conference. The conference, held in Long Beach, CA. hopes to encourage entrepreneurs, scientists, and...

European researchers say they've confirmed Albert Einstein's e=mc2, more than a century after the famous physicist first unveiled the hypothesis. Laurent Lellouch of France's Center for Theoretical Physics led a team from France, Germany and Hungary in the research, which involved some of the world's strongest supercomputers, the German newspaper Deutsche Welle said Friday. Einstein's e=mc2 formula shows that mass can be converted into energy and vice versa. France's National Center for...

By MARY ELLEN SCHOONMAKER As we slide into the holiday weekend, a lighter column is in order. But the underlying point is one that is very close to my heart. I recently attended a baby shower and was stunned by the number of gifts that I didn't know even existed. These included a Boppy pillow (for feeding and infant support), Swaddlers (a kind of Pampers diaper) and my favorite, a baby wipes warmer (for obvious reasons). Of course, there was also the usual assortment of blankets, crib...

By Hisaki, Hashi (ProQuest: ... denotes non-USASCII text omitted.) Nishida Kitaro (1870-1945), one of the most famous philosophers of the Kyoto School, has become well known in Europe through his works on religious philosophy and ethics.1 Yet the interdisciplinary aspect of his philosophy has received much less attention. Aiming at a comprehensive system of philosophy, Nishida strove toward a system of thinking in which thought and practice are united. In this context, the contents of volume...

By Corinne Heller JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Albert Einstein had half a dozen girlfriends and told his wife they showered him with "unwanted" affection, according to letters released on Monday that shed light on his extra-marital affairs. The wild-haired Jewish-German scientist, renowned for his theory of relativity, spent little time at home. He lectured in Europe and in the United States, where he died in 1955 at age 76. But Einstein wrote hundreds of letters to his family....

NASA's Gravity Probe B spacecraft has gathered all the data physicists need to check a bizarre prediction of Einstein's relativity.NASA -- Is Earth in a vortex of space-time?We'll soon know the answer: A NASA/Stanford physics experiment called Gravity Probe B (GP-B) recently finished a year of gathering science data in Earth orbit. The results, which will take another year to analyze, should reveal the shape of space-time around Earth -- and, possibly, the vortex.Time and space, according to...

By Jeremy Lovell LONDON (Reuters) - Albert Einstein was the outstanding genius of the 20th century, but he was also an ordinary man who had many affairs during his two marriages. This other side of the German-born scientist who gave the world its most famous equation, E=MC2, and who was declared the man of the century by Time Magazine, is explained in a new exhibition to mark Einstein Year. Revered by leading scientists and the ordinary public alike for his intellectual powers and...

PARIS (AFP) -- He wrote three ground-breaking works in a "miracle year" a century ago and died 50 years ago this April. Now, in 2005, Einstein has been recalled to duty -- this time, as poster boy for a UN-backed effort to resuscitate physics, a discipline mired in a worrying decline. The campaign gets off to a ceremonial start in Paris on Friday, but already Einstein's name and iconic visage are starting to swirl around the globe like atomic particles in Brownian motion. The reason...
