European astronaut Thomas Pesquet testing ESA's lunar wheelbarrow during a parabolic flight simulating lunar gravity in a first-of-a-kind experiment. BORDEAUX, France — European scientists used a ...

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

Astronomers have identified a tightly bound pair of stars that are spiraling toward a catastrophic merger, turning a distant stellar system into a natural laboratory for testing gravity at its most ...

A team led by astronomer Margot Brouwer (Leiden Observatory, The Netherlands) has tested the new theory of theoretical physicist Erik Verlinde (University of Amsterdam) for the first time through the ...

When I first got behind the wheel of the Lucid Gravity late last year, I was floored. But that test drive of a pre-production vehicle was also so rushed that it felt wrong to draw any real conclusions ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...

In 2016, a team of French physicists sent an ultra-sensitive, drag-free satellite called MICROSCOPE into space to study a 100-year old theory of Einstein’s that could change everything we know about ...
