Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm ...

The long-range influence of gravity, despite its comparative weakness, stems from its inverse-square law, where its flux remains constant over arbitrary distances due to the compensatory increase in ...

Researchers have succeeded in measuring the gravitational field of a gold sphere, just 2 mm in diameter, using a highly sensitive pendulum - and thus the smallest gravitational force. The experiment ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Scientists have proposed a new test to hopefully help shed some light on quantum ...

Gravity is usually presented as the most familiar of nature’s forces, the quiet background pull that keeps feet on sidewalks and planets in orbit. A growing group of physicists is now treating that ...

Levon Pogosian receives funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Camille Bonvin receives funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European ...

One of the things we often just accept about the world is that physical effects get weaker the farther away we get from them. Light sources appear dimmer, the gravitational force gets weaker, magnets ...
