The parabolic flight travels up and down several times on a trajectory resembling an arch, providing 22 seconds of zero ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The idea of gravity as we know it has been around for a long time ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

Astrophysicists have observed puzzling behavior in star clusters that defies our current understanding of gravity at cosmic scales. Intriguingly, the observations fit with an alternative theory of ...

Solving Einstein's equations by using quantities that apply across all space and time coordinates could enable physicists to eventually find their 'white whale': a quantum theory of gravity. In ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A ‘gravity hole’ on Earth? Earlier this summer, researchers with the Indian Institute of Science published a paper exploring one of these ‘gravity holes’. Found all over the planet, ...

Are we living in “The Matrix” in real life? In the 1999 science-fiction film, Neo discovers that the universe is a simulation — but one scientist believes that the idea isn’t all fiction. Dr. Melvin ...

The Juno spacecraft now orbiting Jupiter has a suite of science instruments which will investigate the existence of a possible solid planetary core, map Jupiter’s intense magnetic field, measure the ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

A new probe in development known as GIRO represents a low-cost step toward unlocking the secrets of the outer planets, all through the invisible pull of gravity. Engineers have designed a compact, ...
