Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more mathematics than measurement. A new proposal for a tabletop experiment now suggests ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

NASA is calling on college undergraduates interested in performing reduced gravity experiments onboard the agency’s “Weightless Wonder” aircraft to submit their proposals by Monday, Oct. 30. The ...

Gravity's impact on bone cells—experiments heading to the International Space Station Mechanical engineers at the University of Michigan are tackling mysteries of bone density loss in space and on ...

Physics is filled with mysteries – and, believe it or not, gravity remains one of them. We rely on gravity to explain things large and small. But at a fundamental level, we still don’t fully ...

Jeff Bezos’ rocket company gave NASA a brief taste of the moon’s gravity Tuesday, without straying too far from home. Blue Origin launched the 29 lunar technology experiments to the edge of space from ...

We tend not to dwell on the fact that we exist in three dimensions. Forwards-back, left-right, up-down; these are the axes on which we navigate the world. When we try to imagine something else, it ...
