Latest about gravity
Physicists measure the tiniest gravitational force ever
By Ben Turner published
The experiment could be a trial for many more even smaller ones probing the long-kept secrets of quantum scale gravity.
Lab-grown black hole analog behaves just like Stephen Hawking said it would
By Tim Childers published
Like mad scientists, researchers are creating miniature black holes in their laboratories. Their mission? To see if a mysterious form of radiation predicted by Stephen Hawking exists.
What is the cosmological constant?
By Adam Mann published
What we know about the history and properties of "Einstein's biggest mistake," the cosmological constant
'Spooky action at a distance' could create a nearly perfect clock
By Yasemin Saplakoglu published
Quantum entanglement could in theory lead to extremely precise clocks that can hunt for subtle disturbances in space-time.
'Bumblebee gravity' could explain why the universe is expanding so quickly
By Paul Sutter published
Bumblebee gravity could explain dark energy — if it's proven true.
Are primordial black holes really giant gravitinos?
By Paul Sutter published
New research proposes that the first black holes came from clumps of gravitinos, exotic, hypothetical particles that managed to survive the first chaotic years of the Big Bang.
Invisible 'arches of chaos' span the solar system
By Rafi Letzter published
Scientists have mapped the "arches of chaos:" a vast network of arching structures filling the solar system that could one day aid space travel.
Physicists attempt to unify all forces of nature and rectify Einstein's biggest failure
By Paul Sutter published
Einstein's failed dream could ultimately become his ultimate triumph, as a small group of theoretical physicists rework his old ideas to explain the most pressing issues of modern science.
