Many of the nation’s fire departments and rescue squads provide technical rescue services to their respective communities. Working in the world of rescue, a member understands that rescue is the ...

Even teeny objects obey the law of gravity. A gold ball just 2 millimeters wide, with a mass of about 90 milligrams, is now the smallest object to have its gravitational pull measured. Observations of ...

Lagrange points are spots in space where the gravity of multiple objects basically cancels each other out from the point of ...

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

In a lab in London, newborn chicks took the first steps of their life and unwittingly became part of solving one of the brain’s bigger mysteries. In a simple test, researchers placed the downy animals ...

DENVER — Small but rowdy space rocks pushing and jostling one another may have created the unusual orbits some astronomers cite as the signature of the hypothesized "Planet Nine," a new study suggests ...

According to legend, Galileo dropped weights off of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, showing that gravity causes objects of different masses to fall with the same acceleration. In recent years, researchers ...

Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm afternoon, he saw an apple fall from a tree and wondered why it should fall down ...

Gravity may feel like one of the most familiar forces, but it’s actually among those we understand least. We know our current model of gravity is inconsistent with quantum mechanics. It also fails to ...
