Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

Dynamic mounds made of methane at a depth of some 3,640 meters act like “frozen reefs” for a bizarre array of deep-sea ...

Autonomous free-flying robots aboard the International Space Station (ISS) frequently lose their bearings. Without gravity to distinguish up from down, even precision sensors suffer from accumulating ...

Imagine you’re on a roller coaster at 20,000 feet in the sky, or higher, and repeatedly enduring the sensation of your stomach dropping, all while overseeing a scientific experiment. “I always wanted ...

We take part in a real zero gravity science flight. This is not tourism but an actual research campaign with the European ...

From silent, unexplained sounds resonating across the globe to the strange energy density of empty space, these 13 bizarre mysteries continue to baffle researchers in 2026, proving that the more we ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

Holiday cheer met hands-on learning Saturday when Jason Lindsey — better known as “Mr. Science” — brought festive science fun to the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County. Nearly 50 ...

A new acoustic levitation technique combines sound waves and electric charge to control multiple particles without physical ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter.

When scientists first sent microscopic worms into orbit in 2018, they hoped to answer a question that has shaped every discussion about long missions. What really happens to your body when gravity no ...
