Quantum gravity remains one of the foremost challenges in theoretical physics, seeking to reconcile the principles of quantum mechanics with the geometric understanding of spacetime envisaged by ...

Levitating and spinning diamonds might sound like science fiction, but they’re now part of a bold effort to study the foundations of the universe. In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have ...

Enduring spinning forces that would kill a human being, tiny worms are being observed by a student-designed video system in NASA studies seeking to explore how life adapts to gravity beyond Earth.

They are entirely feasible and, with sufficient funding, we could build one within months or years! Due to the effect of the Coriolis force on the semicircular canals (three tubes in the inner ear), ...

With the Toronto Blue Jays on the cusp of a World Series title, pitcher Kevin Gausman’s mastery of the splitter is not just athletic skill, it’s a brilliant application of physics.

A long-standing science fiction concept for space travel is to create artificial gravity aboard the spacecraft to create a more suitable environment for astronauts. Artificial gravity in sci-fi movies ...
