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 ...

On Friday, Chico elementary students had a smashing time as they watched members of Chico State's Society of Physics drop ...

Photos and videos of astronauts on the ISS show them floating around, but saying there's zero gravity isn't fully accurate.

It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced ...

Any theory of quantum gravity is going to have to grapple with some weird time stuff. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. You've ...

There are few sports more exciting than playoff baseball, but behind every pitch there is also a fascinating story of physics ...

The theoretical physicist and best-selling author finds inspiration in politics and philosophy for rethinking space and time.

Even teeny objects obey the law of gravity. A gold ball just 2 millimeters wide, with a mass of about 90 milligrams, is now the smallest object to have its gravitational pull measured. Observations of ...

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 ...

A longstanding goal in physics has been to link general relativity with quantum theory and so unify the forces of nature. Theories of quantum gravity, however, are plagued by the weak theoretical ...
