Sabrina Pasterski's journey from building an aircraft as a teenager to studying Einstein's biggest unanswered questions has ...

The dead cores of two stars collided 130 million years ago in a galaxy somewhat far away. The collision was so extreme that it caused a wrinkle in space-time — a gravitational wave. That gravitational ...

A theoretical study describes how gravitational field structures could change their connections, drawing on methods used in ...

Ever since Newton published his universal law of gravitation in 1687, anyone with a slide rule and a half decent education could calculate the force of gravity on a falling body or a planet in orbit.

Emergent gravity is a bold idea. It claims that the force of gravity is a mere illusion, more akin to friction or heat—a property that emerges from some deeper physical interaction. This emergent ...

Recent research shows that gravity and quantum information are deeply connected and that the shape of spacetime can be traced back to the way information is stored in quantum fields. Einstein's theory ...

Andy Tay is a UCLA Ph.D. student in bioengineering. This piece appeared on the Conversation. There’s one force whose effects are so deeply entrenched in our everyday lives that we probably don’t think ...

Physicists have directly observed a long-predicted quantum effect of gravity, putting one of Einstein’s foundational ideas to a striking new test. Using ultracold atoms, researchers split an atom’s ...

Asteroids torn apart near white dwarfs may leave large fragments rather than immediate dust, revealing a missing stage in the ...

Gravity is a force that exists everywhere. It pulls all things with mass or energy toward one another. We commonly experience gravity by being pulled downwards by the Earth. Gravity keeps all of the ...
