Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

The curious minds at What If explore gravity reversing for ten seconds straight, imagining the chaos, physics, and hilarity ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

Of the four fundamental forces of physics, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in everyday life, but it’s also the only one that can’t currently be explained by quantum physics. Now scientists ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting "spacetime ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study suggests this mysterious ingredient may not be necessary after all. Using an ...

The weak gravitational pull on a particle just half the mass of a grain of sand has been measured for the first time. This most precise measurement of its kind is a breakthrough towards the quantum ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...
