A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. When you purchase through links on our ...

Spacecrafts don’t just rely on rockets—they use planets to pick up speed! Spacecrafts don’t just rely on rockets—they use planets to pick up speed! It’s called a gravity assist, and it’s one of the ...

This week in space: Obama wants a Mars shot, you can help NASA search for gravity waves via the magic of distributed computing, and a Jupiter-class planet with rings so huge, they'd nearly reach the ...

The properties of  a microgravity environment enable more precise drug formulation, particularly for biologics and ...

NASA once sent over 2,000 jellyfish into space to study how gravity affects biological development. The unusual experiment ...
