Physicists at Kyushu University in Japan have outlined a technique that could bring one of the most elusive goals in modern ...

Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of everything that is not nailed down. At the same time, some of the most ...

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

Scientists have spent decades trying to understand how gravity operates at its most basic scale. However, no theory has come close to fully explaining it. Now, though, a new theory could finally give ...

To live on the moon or Mars, humans will need heat and air conditioning that can operate long term in reduced gravity and temperatures hundreds of degrees above or below what we experience on Earth.

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 ...

Jeff Bezos’ rocket company gave NASA a brief taste of the moon’s gravity Tuesday, without straying too far from home. Blue Origin launched the 29 lunar technology experiments to the edge of space from ...

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 ...
