Black holes capture the imagination of scientists and space enthusiasts because they represent the most extreme gravitational ...

Time is relative. The ticking of the clock, even of the most precise clocks we can make, does not exist in an absolute. It ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

There are a million theories about the human species and how we interact with the earth. Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy. It discovers what the building blocks of nature are. Many ...

In a dual set of papers published in Science last week, an international group of researchers presented an experiment which used relativistic time dilation to measure the curvature of spacetime. The ...

Google says spyware was slipped onto smartphones in Italy and Kazakhstan with the help of mobile interent service providers who cut off service so users could be ...

"A three-body problem is extremely complicated. Now we're dealing with four: the sun, Earth, the moon and Mars. The heavy ...

In quantum mechanics, charged particles like electrons can be sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic fields, even when placed in a region where both the electric and the magnetic fields are zero.

In 1797, English scientist Henry Cavendish measured the strength of gravity with a contraption made of lead spheres, wooden rods and wire. In the 21st century, scientists are doing something very ...
