The European Space Agency (ESA) is planning to launch two incredibly sophisticated gravity wave testing satellites in 2036 -- but they're a long, long way out. So before launching the Laser ...

Physicists in the US have used a tabletop experiment to rule out the existence of strong, gravitational-like forces at short length scales. Such forces, which could hint at additional space–time ...

If the universe contains more than three spatial dimensions, as many physicists believe, our current laws of gravity should break down at small distances Nothing seems more certain than the “fact” ...

If you have good eyes, the smallest objects you can make out are about a tenth of a millimeter: roughly the width of a human hair. Add technology, and the smallest structures we have measured so far ...

One of the biggest challenges to prepare people and equipment to operate on the moon is gravity. Gravity on the lunar surface is one-sixth of what we experience on Earth. All personnel and equipment ...

A team led by astronomer Margot Brouwer (Leiden Observatory, The Netherlands) has tested the new theory of theoretical physicist Erik Verlinde (University of Amsterdam) for the first time through the ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

A European Space Agency (ESA) mission aimed at testing new technologies for understanding the universe has left Britain for final testing before being launched into space. The LISA Pathfinder ...

Not many researchers get the chance to float, weightless, 32,000 feet above the Earth. Medical University of South Carolina scientists usually conduct research in labs – controlled settings where they ...
