Imagine you’re on a roller coaster at 20,000 feet in the sky, or higher, and repeatedly enduring the sensation of your stomach dropping, all while overseeing a scientific experiment. “I always wanted ...

We take part in a real zero gravity science flight. This is not tourism but an actual research campaign with the European Space Agency and NASA. For short moments, gravity disappears completely. We ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory—our two best bets on understanding the universe on a macroscopic and ...

(via PBS Space Time) Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the elusive graviton—the quantum particle of gravity—whose ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole. Since then, it has been boosting the resolution and filling in the details ...

Dark matter follows known physics like Euler's equation, but any additional force must be extremely weak—under roughly 7 percent of gravity's strength. Future LSST and DESI data may detect subtle ...

The Toronto Blue Jays are back where they belong! After almost ten years of waiting, the Blue Jays find themselves in the American League Championship Series once again. They will take on the Seattle ...

Strange gravity signal detected beneath Earth Linked to deep mantle mineral transformation Lasted two years over the Atlantic Ocean ...
