Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more ...
Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...
When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...
The parabolic flight travels up and down several times on a trajectory resembling an arch, providing 22 seconds of zero ...
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 ...
An artist's impression of the quantum experiment. (Courtesy: University of Southampton) The first technique capable of measuring the pull of gravity on a particle just microns in diameter could aid ...
In the second experiment, you're trying to reduce deterioration of bone cells—what do you hope to learn? Grace Cai, doctoral student in applied physics: The cells we've been referring to as "bone ...
Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...
Going down: ALPHA-g’s barrel scintillator being assembled at CERN. (Courtesy: CERN) Antimatter does not “fall up”, but rather responds to the gravitational pull of the Earth in much the same way as ...
Holiday cheer met hands-on learning Saturday when Jason Lindsey — better known as “Mr. Science” — brought festive science fun to the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County. Nearly 50 ...
