For the past two decades, scientists have wondered about a bright, distinct striped pattern seen in radio waves emanating ...

Using gravitational waves as a measure of the universe's rate of expansion could solve the biggest headache in physics, the ...

Your weight doesn't change because of gravity but because the floor pushes back. Physicists explain why elevators briefly ...

A closer look at the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model, its core components, supporting evidence, and why new observations are ...

A region beneath Antarctica where Earth’s gravitational pull is measurably weaker than anywhere else on the planet has persisted for roughly 70 million years, according to new research that traces the ...

Gravitational waves may leave a permanent timing gap in light, revealing how gravity preserves information through a memory ...

A conspiracy theory that spread on social media claims that gravity will disappear for seven seconds this August, and that NASA is aware that this will happen. A physics professor explains why this is ...

About 85 percent of the matter in the universe is thought to be dark matter, yet there is still no confirmed direct detection of any dark matter particle. Ground-based detectors, space-based ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of subatomic particles with no electric charge (i.e., neutrons). When two ...

Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million years ago. This corresponds to large-scale changes in the continent’s ...
