Scientists have uncovered how the plant hormone auxin helps roots bend and downwards towards gravity—a process called gravitropism—even after encountering obstacles in soil.

Science is irrefutable. It is a field in which one must go with surgical precision and to achieve a minimum advance is already a synonym of success. Depending on the field in which ...

Early scientific theories—such as those explaining basic phenomena like gravity, burning, and the movement of molecules in ...

In this era of precision medical imaging, it’s not uncommon to get a CT scan or MRI for one thing and have the radiologist find something altogether different. These incidental findings usually don’t ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

From Newton’s falling apple to Einstein’s curved spacetime, our understanding of gravity has come a long way, yet this ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The idea of gravity as we know it has been around for a long time ...

For the first time, in a unique laboratory experiment at CERN, researchers have observed individual atoms of antihydrogen fall under the effects of gravity. In confirming antimatter and regular matter ...

The Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), a significant gravitational anomaly, has puzzled scientists for decades. Research suggests ...

An ancient grave with a sword, shield and mirror belonged to a woman who about 2,000 years ago may have fought in raids and helped fend off enemy attacks in what’s now southwestern England, Bruce ...
