Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful ...

The story of Isaac Newton's life. He discovered gravity, and the laws of motion that underpin much of modern physics. Yet he ...

Researchers have made a new discovery about the role of gravity in granular materials which could have applications in the pharmaceutical industry and provide a new understanding of images of granular ...

Experimental design (a) and results for the space experiment (b) and the ground-based control experiments (c & d). BMIE: the normalized BM inversion effect; BMUpr & BMInv: task performances for the ...

Artificial gravity has long been the stuff of science fiction. Picture the wheel-shaped ships from films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Martian, imaginary craft that generate their own gravity by ...

Caltech engineer Mory Gharib was poring over the digitized notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci one day, looking for sketches of flow visualization to share with his graduate students for inspiration.

What is the difference between mass and matter? Gravity is the force of action between two objects. It’s called a natural force because it acts at a distance rather than needing to be in contact.

To what extent has Earth's gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...
