Have you ever seen a ping pong ball float in midair above a hair dryer? It may seem like a magic trick, but it’s actually a ...

From Newton’s falling apple to Einstein’s curved spacetime, our understanding of gravity has come a long way, yet this familiar force remains one of the biggest puzzles in physics.

Matthew Crowell tries his hand at the “tablecloth” magic trick as part of a recent science lab. Tommy Elick and Quintin Sartori work against one another and then together as they determine which ...

Your weight changes on other planets and moons due to different gravitational pulls. Weight is how much gravity pulls on you; mass (amount of matter) stays the same. Newton's Law of Gravitation ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...

Engineers have developed a prototype metamaterial that uses electrical signals to control both the direction and intensity of energy waves passing through a solid material. Potential applications of ...

An international team of astrophysicists has made a puzzling discovery while analyzing certain star clusters. The finding challenges Newton's laws of gravity, the researchers write in their ...
