Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of ...

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 ...

Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

To keep a Hula-Hoop aloft, it helps to be in shape — literally. Experiments with gyrating, hoop-slinging robots have revealed how these spinning rings stay up despite the pull of gravity. The shape of ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

(via PBS Space Time) If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple theories that claim to do this, but it’s notoriously ...

Step into the hidden science lab in your kitchen with five easy experiments that explain refraction, surface tension, oxidation, capillary action and motion.
