European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and ...

Researchers have discovered there was an anomaly in Earth's gravitational field between 2006 and 2008, potentially caused by ...

UW-Milwaukee physics and astronomy assistant professor Lia Medeiros explains gravitational waves and the role UWM played in discovering them.

Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by ...

As the story goes, mathematician Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in an orchard after supper when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He wondered why apples always fall straight to the ground, instead of ...

Now that Angry Birds Space is actually available on various platforms, I realize I made some mistakes. Just to be clear, my previous analysis was based ONLY on a preview video. Now that I actually ...

One of the most astonishing facts about science is how universally applicable the laws of nature are. Every particle obeys the same rules, experiences the same forces, and sees the same fundamental ...
