The parabolic flight travels up and down several times on a trajectory resembling an arch, providing 22 seconds of zero ...

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 ...

Alex Chadwick talks Ira Flatow, host of NPR's Talk of the Nation Science Friday, about new examinations of the theories of Galileo and Isaac Newton relating to gravity. This is DAY TO DAY. I'm Alex ...

You might expect that, all these years after Newton, we might have a good measure of his gravitational constant, G. As the authors of a new paper on the topic note, there are plenty of reasons to want ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

With the astronaut flick Gravity dominating box offices and dinner table conversation, Science Friday brings in the experts to fact-check. In our first installment of "Science Goes to the Movies," ...

Canseco kicked off his bizarre tirade against gravity with a cryptic tweet on Monday. On Tuesday Canseco shared his theories on how gravity in ancient times was “much weaker” because how else could ...

What could be more familiar than gravity? Drop something and gravity pulls it to the floor, right? And in school we learn that gravity is what guides the moon in orbit around Earth, and Earth in its ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The idea of gravity as we know it has been around for a long time ...

Hey, how do you feel about gravity? Seems real, right? Knock stuff over, it falls down. But according to new research, that might just be because we all live in a holodeck. This requires some ...

Purists insist that the spacetime ripples just discovered by the Advanced LIGO observatories should be called “gravitational” waves. Which in itself is just a shorthand way of saying radiation of ...

In this photo captured by a team from Virginia Tech, the moon's shadow on Earth during a total solar eclipse is captured from a high-altitude balloon April 8, 2024. The team is a part of the ...
