Cooling metal bars to near absolute zero, suspending microscopic gold beads, or searching for signs that gravity might be ...

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 ...

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 ...

With the ability to generate thousands of times the G-force of Earth and to handle as much as 1,900 tons of mass combined ...

Gravity used to be the most dependable rule in the cosmic rulebook, the quiet background force that never changed its mind. Now a series of discoveries and bold claims are turning that certainty into ...

NASA is calling on college undergraduates interested in performing reduced gravity experiments onboard the agency’s “Weightless Wonder” aircraft to submit their proposals by Monday, Oct. 30. The ...

Physicists at CERN have discovered that antimatter falls down. Sure, it sounds like an obvious thing, but scientists haven’t yet been able to confirm that it responds to gravity in exactly the same ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...
