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 ...

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

Penn physicist Patricio Gallardo and collaborators tracked the speeds of distant galaxy clusters to test the strength of ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

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

(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 ...
