A variation on the theory of quantum gravity — the unification of quantum mechanics and Einstein's general relativity — could help solve one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology, new research suggests.

A pair of spacecraft that meticulously mapped the moon's gravitational field has helped astronomers solve the long-standing mystery of why the moon is so gravitationally lumpy. A team of scientists ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

Isaac Newton formulated his theory of gravity as an action at a distance: a planet instantly feels the influence of another celestial body, no matter the distance between them. This characteristic ...

Physicists have long assumed that the universe is pretty much the same in any direction, and now they've found a new way to test that hypothesis: by examining the shadow of a black hole. If that ...

Pesquet's fellow astronauts on the ISS were doing all sorts of somersaults inside the space station in zero gravity. One astronaut even managed to complete his "lack of floor" routine without touching ...

One of the lesser known facts about me is that I’m one of the few world experts on anti-gravity. That’s because 20 years ago I was convinced that repulsive gravity could explain some of the puzzling ...

Uber’s Lucid Gravity robotaxis will enter San Francisco next year. Lucid’s CFO explains why the rideshare giant picked its ...
