Quantum computers are still a work in progress but quantum sensors are already in use at hospitals, laboratories and by ...

For more than 200 years, scientists have struggled to pin down the exact strength of gravity — and one physicist spent a decade chasing the answer while keeping his own results hidden from himself.

The story of Isaac Newton's life. He discovered gravity, and the laws of motion that underpin much of modern physics. Yet he ...

The Moon's revolution around the earth is an example of gravity and motion in action which is quite intriguing. While it ...

Newton’s Law of Gravity just survived its biggest cosmic test. Scientists studied nearly 686,000 galaxies spread across 7 ...

Experimental design (a) and results for the space experiment (b) and the ground-based control experiments (c & d). BMIE: the normalized BM inversion effect; BMUpr & BMInv: task performances for the ...

Caltech engineer Mory Gharib was poring over the digitized notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci one day, looking for sketches of flow visualization to share with his graduate students for inspiration.

Nature's Gravity uses two distinct mechanisms to organize motion: coherence-dominant dynamics and isobar-dominant dynamics ...

Artificial gravity has long been the stuff of science fiction. Picture the wheel-shaped ships from films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Martian, imaginary craft that generate their own gravity by ...

Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...
