Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of ...

The weak gravitational pull on a particle just half the mass of a grain of sand has been measured for the first time. This most precise measurement of its kind is a breakthrough towards the quantum ...

Satellites detected a mysterious gravitational change beneath Earth's surface, suggesting rapid movement of interior masses.

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study suggests this mysterious ingredient may not be necessary after all. Using an ...

Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold new line of research now argues that gravity is not fundamental at all, ...

Scott Detrow talks to Lulu Miller, the host of Radiolab's Terrestrials podcast, about her conversation with the scientist Wanda Diaz-Merced, who studies gravitational waves that ripple through ...

The universe is expanding—that much is clear. The rate at which it expands is a bone of contention among scientists. The so-called Hubble constant accurately predicts how fast objects recede, but it's ...

Our universe would look so different, Kyle. You might not recognize it even if you could be here to see it. Unfortunately, there probably wouldn’t be a whole lot to see. I learned about this from ...
