For more than a century, gravity has been the immovable backdrop of modern physics, a force that can be described and ...
A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...
The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...
Canseco kicked off his bizarre tirade against gravity with a cryptic tweet on Monday. On Tuesday Canseco shared his theories on how gravity in ancient times was “much weaker” because how else could ...
I love sci-fi movies but hate it when the science is needlessly trampled by the fiction. There are no such problems in Alfonso Cuarón's immersive science-fiction action thriller "Gravity". The film ...
Hey, how do you feel about gravity? Seems real, right? Knock stuff over, it falls down. But according to new research, that might just be because we all live in a holodeck. This requires some ...
In 1916, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves when he proposed his theory of general relativity. Einstein figured that any object with mass creates a kind of signal, rippling ...
Alex Chadwick talks Ira Flatow, host of NPR's Talk of the Nation Science Friday, about new examinations of the theories of Galileo and Isaac Newton relating to gravity. This is DAY TO DAY. I'm Alex ...
You might expect that, all these years after Newton, we might have a good measure of his gravitational constant, G. As the authors of a new paper on the topic note, there are plenty of reasons to want ...
WASHINGTON (ISNS) -- Scientists know how gravity works at big distances -- the inter-planetary or inter-stellar range -- but does it work the same way at the inter-atomic range? A variety of tabletop ...
With the astronaut flick Gravity dominating box offices and dinner table conversation, Science Friday brings in the experts to fact-check. In our first installment of "Science Goes to the Movies," ...
