We tend to think of gravity as being about as constant as it gets. It is the invisible anchor that keeps our feet on the ...

With the ability to generate thousands of times the G-force of Earth and to handle as much as 1,900 tons of mass combined ...

A mysterious gravity dip beneath Antarctica is growing stronger, shaped by deep Earth forces over millions of years.

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 ...

Ever wondered why geckos can scamper up walls and humans cannot? The secret lies in physics, biology and evolution. Discover how animals exploit molecular forces to defy gravity and why humans are ...

Scientists are a step closer to unraveling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level. Experts have never fully understood how the force that ...

Lots of people, including Einstein (see above), talk about gravity, the restraining force which makes people walk on floors instead of floating in midair. What worries Roger Babson, 74, economic ...

A frozen continent at the bottom of the world sits over the deepest dip in Earth’s gravitational pull, a feature that has persisted for roughly 70 million years. Scientists have long known about this ...

Artificial gravity remains the stuff of science fiction. But dealing with microgravity causes significant problems in many astronauts, ranging from bone deterioration to loss of sight. An alternative ...

In the April 1981 issue of Popular Science, we explored the many initiatives and techniques used in the exciting hunt for sensing gravity waves, then out of reach. By Bill Gourgey Published May 18, ...
