Something seems to be missing from the universe, and the favored model of physics calls it “dark matter” – but despite a century of searching, it remains a no-show. A new paper proposes an alternative ...

AI is rewriting the laws of physics, uncovering hidden forces, and reshaping our understanding of the universe. Discover the ...

In the 95 years we’ve known about antimatter, physicists have not tested how the elusive inverse of ordinary matter is affected by gravity, the force that pulls masses to Earth and seems to affect all ...

According to Newtonian physics, the gravitational attraction between two masses is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance between them – the inverse square law. However, as Most ...

Dark matter is currently the most widely accepted hypothesis for explaining some of the weirdness we see in the cosmos – but it’s not the only possibility. Now, a team of astronomers has discovered ...

Some people watch science fiction shows to be entertained, and that's fine. But you can also use them to find excellent physics problems. How about the recent Netflix movie Stowaway? It's about a crew ...

You know the Slinky, but have you ever wondered how it walks down stairs, or why it appears to hang in midair when dropped? Scientists have peered into these phenomena for decades, but now a Princeton ...

A team of physicists just snared $3 million for testing the law of gravity like never before. Eric Adelberger, Jens Gundlach and Blayne Heckel won the 2021 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics ...

(Phys.org)—A group of physicists from Japan have taken to the skies to grow crystals under zero gravity. Presenting their results today in the Institute of Physics and German Physical Society's New ...

Islay Ross, who grew up on a small island off the coast of Washington state, learned how to express her feelings with paint, fabric, and collage long before visiting the Yale University Art Gallery as ...
