For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth space-time with the jittery world of quantum mechanics. A new wave of ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

Colleen Cain got to do what few teachers in the country can do – test classroom experiments in zero gravity. Cain teaches seventh-grade science at Larson Middle School in Troy and earlier this month ...

Isaac Newton confessed that he had no idea what gravity was. The 17th century English polymath knew what it did, and he described it with a universal law of gravitation. But where the law came from, ...
