A key question in physics is whether gravity follows quantum rules, but testing this is difficult because gravitational ...

There are some things in life that just sort of happen. Desks get covered in dust and scraps of paper. Clothes get dirty and the laundry basket fills up. Weeds slowly creep across an untended ...

Gravity, as most people understand it, is the familiar force that pulls a falling apple toward Earth. But for astronomers and ...

Measuring acceleration due to gravity at the site, researchers found it was a surprising 9.7639 meters per second squared.

We all know gravity as the invisible force that keeps us grounded. But what if it's not a force at all? What if it's a function? One physicist believes gravity might actually be one of the strongest ...

Rumours that Earth's gravity suddenly disappeared for a few seconds have circulated widely on the Internet lately. This rumor ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have taken lasers beyond light and into the realm of sound, creating a breakthrough “phonon laser” that ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Over the past few decades, the idea that gravity is not a fundamental interaction but is instead caused by the increase of entropy has become increasingly popular in the ...

(via PBS Space Time) Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the elusive graviton—the quantum particle of gravity—whose ...
