Using two separate tests, scientists have measured a new value for a fundamental natural quantity – G, the gravitational constant – that is slightly higher than previous experiments. Though the result ...

Gravity, one of the four fundamental forces of nature, appears reassuringly constant across the universe, according to a decades-long study of a distant pulsar. This research helps to answer a ...

The gravitational constant describes the intrinsic strength of gravity, and can be used to calculate the gravitational pull between two objects. The gravitational pull between two objects can be ...

It does not resolve the discrepancy, but it gives physicists one more data point in their ongoing quest to nail down a more ...

The time had come to open the envelope, but Stephan Schlamminger, a physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), wasn't sure he wanted to know the secret number that lay ...
