It is now thought that the source of this anomaly was a phase transition in which one mineral’s structure was altered.

Researchers at the University of Ottawa suggest that if the fundamental strengths of nature's forces, such as gravity, change ...

Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm afternoon, he saw an apple fall from a tree and wondered why it should fall down ...

Since conventional explanations have failed to pony up dark matter, one physicist is looking towards the unconventional. In a series of two papers, physicist Stefano Profumo of the University of ...

The true “informational age” of the cosmos may be 62 billion years, not just the 13.8 billion years of our current expansion.

Researchers have developed a method to model a central theory of quantum gravity in the laboratory. Their goal: to decipher previously unexplained phenomena in the quantum world. Gravity is no longer ...

From Newton’s falling apple to Einstein’s curved spacetime, our understanding of gravity has come a long way, yet this familiar force remains one of the biggest puzzles in physics.

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter ...

CHICO — What goes up, must come down. The sounds of at least 400 children counting down to see pumpkins falling from the sky reverberated Thursday from Trinity Commons at Chico State as the children ...
