A new study has revealed that gravity's effect on Earth is constantly shaping the surface of our planet. When our planet formed, it did so by pulling dust and rock toward its gravitational field. As ...

Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm ...

The long-range influence of gravity, despite its comparative weakness, stems from its inverse-square law, where its flux remains constant over arbitrary distances due to the compensatory increase in ...

Of the four fundamental forces, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in our everyday lives, but perhaps surprisingly, it’s the weakest and hardest to measure here on Earth. Now, physicists in ...

Using a high-powered electromagnet, Brown University physicists Karine Guevorkian and James Valles have created a topsy-turvy world for the single-celled paramecium. They have managed to increase, ...

We think of gravity as weighty—its omnipresent grasp pulling us down to the ground. Try to lift a piano up a flight of stairs and you can feel gravity’s resistance. ( Receive emails about upcoming ...
