To what extent has Earth’s gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

From planetary orbits to pendulum swings, MATLAB makes it possible to simulate gravity and motion with precision. Using built-in physics toolboxes, you can explore everything from Newton’s laws to ...

In quantum physics, objects can exist in multiple states at the same time—a phenomenon known as quantum superposition, where ...

Measuring the strength of gravity is extraordinarily difficult, and different experiments have always disagreed – but a new ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

Experimental design (a) and results for the space experiment (b) and the ground-based control experiments (c & d). BMIE: the normalized BM inversion effect; BMUpr & BMInv: task performances for the ...
