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

You see this all the time in textbooks: This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational ...

Gravity is a fundamental force of nature; it is an attractive force between any objects that have mass. The strength of gravity between everyday objects, such as a desk and a chair, is extremely small ...

You've probably heard this sort of claim before: Einstein made a prediction, usually with general relativity, and we're just now getting around to testing it. It's a slightly misleading idea, since ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol, UK, have shown that droplets of liquid can travel uphill when placed on a vertically vibrating inclined plate. 'In fact, if the plate vibrates at the right ...

Researchers have made a new discovery about the role of gravity in granular materials which could have applications in the pharmaceutical industry and provide a new understanding of images of granular ...
