Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more ...
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 ...
They were surprised to find that, inside their cryogenic plasma chamber, the tiny grains grew into delicate, snowflake-like ...
The parabolic flight travels up and down several times on a trajectory resembling an arch, providing 22 seconds of zero ...
Scientists have evidence for a sea of ripples in space-time, called the gravitational wave background. Their experiment used dead, spinning stars to hack our galaxy and turn it into a wave detector.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — We have two holidays to celebrate this week - Saint Patrick’s Day and the start of spring. Today’s experiment ties in both of those holidays. The experiment, sometimes called "walking ...
NASA is calling on college undergraduates interested in performing reduced gravity experiments onboard the agency’s “Weightless Wonder” aircraft to submit their proposals by Monday, Oct. 30. The ...
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 ...
A proposed experiment hopes to find gravitational waves, which are hypothetical fluctuations in the fabric of spacetime. All it needs is three satellites orbiting the Sun, and lasers capable of ...
The gravitational constant describes the intrinsic strength of gravity, and can be used to calculate the gravitational pull between two objects. The gravitational pull between two objects can be ...
