There has been an announcement in the media recently, saying  that : 

e=mc2: 103 years later, Einstein's proven right CLICKHERE

 

 

However, the matter is not as it appeared to be, as comments in Physics forum indicate that :

 

This is simply sensationalism in the reporting. This is certainly not a "proof" of Einstein in any sense of the word (in fact, the calculation itself assumes relativity). It is a new and better calculation of the mass of the proton in terms of a fundamental parameter of the theory of strong interactions.    http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=273690 click here

It’s actually worse than that. This news story is horribly misleading. I’m one of the authors of the original paper (although I am neither French nor German nor Hungarian, but Austrian, which is telling of the quality of that story) and I can assure you, that we did *NOT* set out to prove E=mc^2 and we did not corroborate it any further than it already is.

What we did was calculating the mass of the proton and other elementary particles from the underlying theory with controlled systematic errors, no more, no less. http://forthesakeofscience.wordpress.com/2008/11/21/misleading-science-articles/    click here

Ab Initio Determination of Light Hadron Masses

More than 99% of the mass of the visible universe is made up of protons and neutrons. Both particles are much heavier than their quark and gluon constituents, and the Standard Model of particle physics should explain this difference. We present a full ab initio calculation of the masses of protons, neutrons, and other light hadrons, using lattice quantum chromodynamics. Pion masses down to 190 mega–electron volts are used to extrapolate to the physical point, with lattice sizes of approximately four times the inverse pion mass. Three lattice spacings are used for a continuum extrapolation. Our results completely agree with experimental observations and represent a quantitative confirmation of this aspect of the Standard Model with fully controlled uncertainties
