The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

As far as we know, our physical world is governed by four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear forces, and gravity. Apart from playing with bar magnets or marveling at the ...

From reverse waterfalls to gravity-defying hills, some places on Earth seem to challenge physics. These strange spots attract ...

A little more than a year ago, humanity got its first good look at the most mysterious object of the vast universe. For the first time, astronomers had imaged a black hole, which was lurking on the ...

Lots of people, including Einstein (see above), talk about gravity, the restraining force which makes people walk on floors instead of floating in midair. What worries Roger Babson, 74, economic ...
