Deep in the rainforests of far north Queensland, Australia, scientists have discovered a tiny spider with an extraordinary ...

Scientists think a new framework for quantum gravity could offer clues about a mysterious 5th fundamental force of nature.

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature—one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...

Every time a coffee mug drops, a satellite orbits or an astronaut floats, we are watching the same phenomenon play out under very different disguises. For centuries we have treated gravity as the ...

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 ...

A rewrite of quantum mechanics that includes the force of gravity could finally achieve one of physicists’ biggest goals and reveal the ultimate fuzziness of time ...

Despite dozens of experiments over the years, scientists still don't have a precise measurement for gravity's strength. Why is that?

As far as physicists have been able to determine, nature speaks two mutually unintelligible languages: one for gravity and one for everything else. Curves in the fabric of space-time tell planets and ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature – one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...
