Have you ever wondered why a feather and a hammer fall at the same rate, despite their vast difference in weight? It’s one of ...

Artificial gravity has long captured the imagination of scientists and sci-fi fans alike, but how close are we to turning ...

But why is that? It’s not just the result: it’s the method, and what it says about a path forward for a branch of science critics say may be trapped in a loop of rising costs and diminishing returns.

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 ...

A gene called IBSH1 helped spreading earthmoss thrive at high gravity, hinting at how plants adapted to photosynthesize on land.

Da Vinci's ideas about gravity preceded even Isaac Newton's formal announcement of the universal law of gravitation in 1687 and Galileo Galilei's law of parabolic fall, which dictates how objects ...

Both experiments making up the facility will remain in orbit through 2025, allowing the fluid physics community at large to take advantage of this data. “We are ready to literally close the book on ...

The results are a bit of a wet blanket for science fiction. "The bottom line is that there's no free lunch, and we're not going to be able to levitate using antimatter," study coauthor Joel Fajans ...

Early this morning, a pair of experiments exploring bone density, designed by engineers at the University of Michigan, left the Wallops Island, Virginia launchpad aboard a Northrop Grumman Corp ...

A new measurement of gravity at small scales hints at an alternative to billion-dollar experiments for the future of physics.
