European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and ...

When you travel through the Universe, it isn't just a free ride through empty space. Although you might not think about it very often, there are forces arising from the presence of everything else, ...

Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million ...

Four fundamental forces are known in physics: the weak and strong interactions, and the electromagnetic and gravitational forces. The gravitational force is the weakest of these four. For this reason, ...

Picture this: You’re floating in deep space, and there's a cute little beach-ball-size asteroid just 3 meters away. The rock’s mass is twice that of yours. You want to get to that asteroid, but you ...

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

When Newton first proposed the law of universal gravitation, it marked the very first time that we realized the same rule governing how objects fell on Earth also governed how they moved and attracted ...

Gravity is the force of action between two objects. It’s called a natural force because it acts at a distance rather than needing to be in contact. Gravity is the force that holds us down on Earth and ...

"It highlights gravity's possible hidden complexity and invites a reevaluation of where dark matter effects originate." ...

Researchers have succeeded in measuring the gravitational field of a gold sphere, just 2 mm in diameter, using a highly sensitive pendulum - and thus the smallest gravitational force. The experiment ...
