According to Newtonian physics, the gravitational attraction between two masses is proportional to the inverse of the square ...

Physicists have measured the smallest gravitational field ever recorded, in an experiment that could help in the search for a unified theory of physics. Of the four fundamental forces known to ...

A new Big Bang model does away with speculative elements, putting gravitational waves at the forefront of the creation of ...

This larger gravitational force between two bodies relies on something called the gravitational constant that is used to calculate the relative gravitational force between two objects.

Gravity is a key component to human life on Earth - but can this powerful force be defied? One space company has shared how they've created a propellantless propulsion drive that defies the laws of ...

Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

Currently, the force of gravity can’t be explained in terms of quantum physics, but being able to measure its effects on smaller and smaller scales could unlock its secrets and perhaps reveal ...

For example, take the team's research into Isaac Newton's inverse square law, which stipulates that the gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the square of the distance ...

The movie Gravity had everyone spellbound with its gripping portrayal of spacewalks and the perils astronauts encounter ...

Getting science stuff in a show is tough. But that doesn't give it license to be wrong. Here's how Neil DeGrasse Tyson could have been more accurate about the physics of how gravity affects ...

The female mathematician who changed the course of physics—but couldn’t get a job (Emmy) Noether's Theorem may be the most important theoretical result in modern physics.
