This sci-fi concept could one day be a reality, say our readers, however the measurements would need to be exact to avoid ...

Thanks to not-so-recent advances in technology, we can shoot just about anything into space, or at the very least into Earth's orbit. At first, we launched spy satellites during the Cold War, but once ...

How realistic is artificial gravity in space? This video explores the physics behind the idea, why it’s so difficult to ...

All the fundamental forces are thought to be carried by a particle, but a new mathematical model suggests gravity may be a striking exception. Building on a decades-old idea, researchers have revealed ...

NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are back on Earth after 286 days in space. Former astronaut and ISS commander Terry Virts and former NASA Administrator Major General Charles Bolden ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
