While a "gravity hole" in Antarctica has been on scientists’ radar for some time, its history has never been fully understood. New research is beginning to change that, and in doing so, suggest ...

Gravity seems constant but it turns out, Earth is weirder than that. Gravity actually wobbles a bit across the planet. And ...

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 ...

The research suggests that changes in Earth's interior may have influenced Antarctica's climate history.

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 ...

Explore gravity's essential role in Earth's fast-paced journey through space and its impact on life and science.

The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new research, I explore a different possibility: Rather than postulating new ...

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity warps light in space. Once thought to exist only on paper, this effect has now ...

Program to Inspire Kids to Pursue Math and Science Kicks Off On Aug. 28 With First of 16 Microgravity Flights Scheduled in Eight Cities High School Musical 2’s Corbin Bleu to Experience Zero Gravity ...

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 ...
