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 ...

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 discovery will finally ...

As my arms lift from my sides, and the rest of my body follows suit toward the ceiling of a modified Boeing 727—next to scientists, astronauts, engineers and activists—I think, “How did I get here?” I ...

Although the first detection of gravitational waves in 2015 gets a lot of press, the detection of GW170817—the first binary neutron star collision—confirms how important gravitational waves likely are ...

A mathematical test for the nature of space-time – the fabric of physical reality – may be the first step towards novel computer-like devices that process information using gravity. Eleftherios-Ermis ...

Before humans sent the first dogs and chimps into space, there was genuine fear: Can a living creature evolved for gravity survive in sustained zero-G? Many posited that the result would be fatal, as ...
