Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm ...

Of the four fundamental forces, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in our everyday lives, but perhaps surprisingly, it’s the weakest and hardest to measure here on Earth. Now, physicists in ...

The long-range influence of gravity, despite its comparative weakness, stems from its inverse-square law, where its flux remains constant over arbitrary distances due to the compensatory increase in ...

Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces in the universe, alongside electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Despite being all-pervasive and important for keeping our feet from ...

We think of gravity as weighty—its omnipresent grasp pulling us down to the ground. Try to lift a piano up a flight of stairs and you can feel gravity’s resistance. ( Receive emails about upcoming ...

Hey, let's just move this really heavy object over here. It should be easy, right? Well, I guess things didn't go as well as they would have liked. Why did this crane tip over as it turned but not at ...

Researchers have succeeded in measuring the gravitational field of a gold sphere, just 2 mm in diameter, using a highly sensitive pendulum - and thus the smallest gravitational force. The experiment ...
