A new study reveals how intertwined forms of frustration in quantum materials can give rise to unconventional magnetic states.

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, ...

The new year debuted with an unexpected space-related conspiracy theory on social media that made us forget about the 3I/ATLAS comet conspiracy that preceded it. An imminent alien contact (3I/ATLAS) ...

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 ...

There is a rumor going around online—on Reddit, Facebook, TikTok, and (I assume) Friendster—that gravity will stop working for seven seconds on August 12. Here is part of the warning posted online: In ...

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 ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Gravity is the unseen force that shapes the universe, yet we rarely give it much thought. First explained by Sir Isaac Newton, it is the pull that draws objects toward one another based on their mass ...
