The proposed BMV experiment could test whether gravity is quantum, a breakthrough that may lead to quantum computers and ...

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 ...

Albert Einstein postulated in his 1905 theory of special relativity that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant. Ever ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...

Granular materials exhibit complex rheological behavior that is sensitive to external conditions. In particular, effects of gravitational forces have significant implications for space geotechnical ...

Despite dozens of experiments over the years, scientists still don't have a precise measurement for gravity's strength. Why is that?

To live on the moon or Mars, humans will need heat and air conditioning that can operate long term in reduced gravity and temperatures hundreds of degrees above or below what we experience on Earth.

In the April 1981 issue of Popular Science, we explored the many initiatives and techniques used in the exciting hunt for sensing gravity waves, then out of reach. By Bill Gourgey Published May 18, ...
