If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

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 ...

We take part in a real zero gravity science flight. This is not tourism but an actual research campaign with the European Space Agency and NASA. For short moments, gravity disappears completely. We ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The idea of gravity as we know it has been around for a long time ...

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 ...

Astronomers obsessed with solving the mysteries of dark matter or dark energy should remember: To make a great discovery, sometimes you need to know what you’re looking for. Take Michel Lalande. He ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
