What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...

It was quite a leap. Conspiracy theorists are being brought back down to Earth after NASA scientists debunked a wild claim that the space agency was hiding knowledge about an event that could result ...

In early January 2026, a rumor circulated online that Earth would "lose gravity" for seven seconds on Aug. 12, 2026 — leading to "40 million deaths from falls," among other cataclysmic outcomes.

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 ...

China has unveiled an extremely powerful “hypergravity machine” that can generate forces almost two thousand times stronger than Earth’s regular gravity. The futuristic-looking machine, called ...

Can we create artificial gravity, or is it still science fiction? In this video, we break the problem down using real physics and actual equations. By looking at rotational motion, angular velocity, ...

Russia is taking space travel to the next level with a bold new design—a rotating space station that creates artificial gravity! Scheduled for a 2027 launch, this innovative structure spins to ...

According to the patent, habitable modules would rotate around a central axis to simulate gravity for crew by producing an outward-pushing centrifugal force. When you purchase through links on our ...

Renewable Lubricants has introduced a new line of ultimately biodegradable hydraulic fluids designed for equipment operating in environmentally sensitive areas, including trails, shorelines, marinas ...

With their gravity-detecting genes turned off, these grassy plants grow along the soil’s surface. The inset image shows SLQ1 proteins that have been fluorescently tagged in a cell. A study by ...

The two stars in the nearby system ZTF J2130 are spiraling toward a catastrophic supernova. In the meantime, scientists are using the pair's slow orbital decay to put Einstein's theory of gravity to ...

You may have heard people say that aboard the International Space Station (ISS) there's "zero gravity," but in fact, gravity is still very much present. The station orbits Earth at an altitude of ...
