Physicists have spent a century trying to reconcile the smooth fabric of spacetime in general relativity with the jittery ...

According to the patent, habitable modules would rotate around a central axis to simulate gravity for crew by producing an outward-pushing centrifugal force.

Gravity is the force of action between two objects. It’s called a natural force because it acts at a distance rather than needing to be in contact. Gravity is the force that holds us down on Earth and ...

Dr Charles Buhler takes people through his lab in a new video. He explains more about how they developed and detected a new force from large electrostatic pressure differences. They claim this force ...

As the possibility of long-duration space exploration becomes more feasible, the issue of how to preserve astronaut health during such missions is becoming increasingly critical. Recently, Russia’s ...

Russia’s state-owned Energia rocket company has secured a patent for a space station designed to generate artificial gravity.

Levon Pogosian receives funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Camille Bonvin receives funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European ...

Still, the first gravitationally lensed gravitational wave event is fascinating. The team estimates that if it truly was a ...

All fundamental forces operating on astronomical scales exhibit a decrease in strength with increasing distance. A hypothetical force, decreasing with distance slower than the inverse square law, ...

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...
