- Contained within the theory of special relativity is not only the experimentally observed mass variation with speed but also the concept of the equivalence of mass and energy. The latter concept, which is directly verified in electron–positron pair production, has of course far-reaching consequences with regard to present-day energy production.

Mar 14, 2022 · Published in annus mirabilis 1905, in the year that Einstein also explained the photoelectric effect and Brownian motion, special theory of relativity has given a new understanding of the fundamental concepts of physics—mass, space and time—making them mutually dependent.
Special relativity is a restricted version of the more general theory of relativity, which treats all reference frames equally, including those that are accelerating and/or in the presence of gravitational fields.
Relativistic quantum chemistry combines relativistic mechanics with quantum chemistry to calculate elemental properties and structure, especially for the heavier elements of the periodic table. A prominent example is an explanation for the color of gold: due to relativistic effects, it is not silvery like most other metals.
Apr 19, 2012 · This perspective article discusses some broadly-known and some less broadly-known consequences of Einstein's special relativity in quantum chemistry, and provides a brief outline of the theoretical methods currently in use, along with a discussion of recent developments and selected applications.
Sep 18, 2024 · special relativity, part of the wide-ranging physical theory of relativity formed by the German-born physicist Albert Einstein. It was conceived by Einstein in 1905. Along with quantum mechanics, relativity is central to modern physics.

Oct 21, 2024 · E = mc 2, equation in German-born physicist Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity that expresses the fact that mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other.
This review provides both traditional and new examples of these effects, including the special properties of gold, lead-acid and mercury batteries, the shapes of gold and thallium clusters, heavy-atom shifts in NMR, topological insulators, and certain specific heats.
