The two stars in the nearby system ZTF J2130 are spiraling toward a catastrophic supernova. In the meantime, scientists are ...

The motion of the booster, named 2020 SO, is primarily driven by the gravity of the Sun and Earth. Prior to 2019, the booster was orbiting the Sun with an orbit similar to Earth’s, but moving at a ...

On Nov. 2, Kip Thorne took the stage at Harvey Mudd College’s Galileo Auditorium to recount his 50 year odyssey of making ...

European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and ...

In a breakthrough discovery that challenges the conventional understanding of cosmology, scientists have unearthed new evidence that could reshape our perception of the cosmos. New research shows that ...

The prevailing assumption has been that Einstein's theory of gravity must be modified, or 'quantized', in order to fit within quantum theory. This is the approach of two leading candidates for a ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. A new discovery suggests ...

(Inside Science) — An enzyme in the bacterium E. coli made more errors copying synthetic DNA when exposed to zero gravity than the same enzyme did in normal gravity, a recent study finds. The paper ...

First up, just pointing a rocket at the Sun and blasting as hard as you can would result in a wild miss. The main problem you ...

Quanta Magazine: Stacy McGaugh, professor and chair of the Department of Astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences, discussed an alternative theory of gravity—a tweaked version of Einstein’s ...
