Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

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

Satellites detected a mysterious gravitational change beneath Earth's surface, suggesting rapid movement of interior masses.

Four fundamental forces are known in physics: the weak and strong interactions, and the electromagnetic and gravitational forces. The gravitational force is the weakest of these four. For this reason, ...

Here’s a Snapple-cap factoid that’d be fun to whip out in conversation: on a planet the size of a ladybug, objects would fall 30 billion times slower than they do here on Earth. And how do scientists ...

Researchers have succeeded in measuring the gravitational field of a gold sphere, just 2 mm in diameter, using a highly sensitive pendulum - and thus the smallest gravitational force. The experiment ...
