After a 10-year effort, physicists got a value for “Big G” that does not settle the debate over one of nature’s hardest ...

A key question in physics is whether gravity follows quantum rules, but testing this is difficult because gravitational ...

There are some things in life that just sort of happen. Desks get covered in dust and scraps of paper. Clothes get dirty and the laundry basket fills up. Weeds slowly creep across an untended ...

Gravity, as most people understand it, is the familiar force that pulls a falling apple toward Earth. But for astronomers and ...

We all know gravity as the invisible force that keeps us grounded. But what if it's not a force at all? What if it's a function? One physicist believes gravity might actually be one of the strongest ...

Rumours that Earth's gravity suddenly disappeared for a few seconds have circulated widely on the Internet lately. This rumor ...

Measuring acceleration due to gravity at the site, researchers found it was a surprising 9.7639 meters per second squared.

In quantum physics, objects can exist in multiple states at the same time—a phenomenon known as quantum superposition, where ...

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 ...

Scientists have taken lasers beyond light and into the realm of sound, creating a breakthrough “phonon laser” that manipulates tiny vibrations at the quantum level. By dramatically reducing noise in ...

The Juno spacecraft now orbiting Jupiter has a suite of science instruments which will investigate the existence of a possible solid planetary core, map Jupiter’s intense magnetic field, measure the ...
