For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

Dr Charles Buhler takes people through his lab in a new video. He explains more about how they developed and detected a new force from large electrostatic pressure differences. They claim this force ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to be folded neatly into the quantum rules that govern the rest of nature. Now a convergence of bold ...

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

Gravity, despite its pervasive influence, is the weakest fundamental force, easily overcome even by simple actions like lifting a pencil. While achieving and maintaining orbit requires significant ...

Deep Fission, a young California company, is preparing to start building a nuclear reactor a mile below ground, sealed inside ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

All fundamental forces operating on astronomical scales exhibit a decrease in strength with increasing distance. A hypothetical force, decreasing with distance slower than the inverse square law, ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense star remnants made up primarily of nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons). Over the course of ...

As far as physicists have been able to determine, nature speaks two mutually unintelligible languages: one for gravity and one for everything else. Curves in the fabric of space-time tell planets and ...
