Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla shared his experiences from the ISS, discussing micro-gravity experiments, the unique challenges ...
Scientists have discovered that dark matter, the universe's most mysterious "stuff," obeys gravity on vast cosmological ...
Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...
From dew at dawn to a foggy mirror after a shower, condensation is part of our daily lives on Earth. In space, microgravity ...
Casting a swirling shadow, a glowing candle flame sways eerily before flaring up once more. As ghostly as it looks, this ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other ...
Cavendish-like: A schematic diagram of the proposed experiment on gravitational interaction between two torsion balances. Two torsion pendula are placed with their equilibrium orientations (dashed ...
COLUMBIA, S.C. — We have two holidays to celebrate this week - Saint Patrick’s Day and the start of spring. Today’s experiment ties in both of those holidays. The experiment, sometimes called "walking ...
Physics tells us that a hammer and a feather, dropped in a vacuum, will fall at the same rate – as famously demonstrated by an Apollo 15 astronaut on the Moon. Now, CERN scientists are preparing to ...
Is gravity a quantum phenomenon? That has been one of the big outstanding questions in physics for decades. Physicists have proposed an experiment that could settle the issue. However, it requires ...
