Einstein's theory of gravity and quantum physics are expected to merge at the Planck-scale of extremely high energies and on very short distances. Now scientists have proposed a new quantum experiment ...

Using a state-of-the-art device for measuring mass, researchers have made their most precise determination yet of Planck's constant, an important value in science that will help to redefine the ...

Planck photon rocket drives --- which in theory could hit velocities equal to 99.999 percent the speed of light --- might eventually offer propulsion engineers a way to drastically reduce interstellar ...

1. Arxiv – A LEGO Watt Balance: An apparatus to demonstrate the definition of mass based on the new SI National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers have designed and built a watt ...

Discover the iPod Planck, the smallest iPod, and its links to quantum gravity effects and the Holographic Principle. clearly they are moving toward the "ipod Planck", which would be the smallest ipod ...

Nick van Remortel demystifies natural unit systems — and advises what to do when you see a mass expressed in GeV. Several unit systems for describing the natural world exist. The International System ...

The solution as to why gravity is so weak may come from taking a closer look at the Higgs boson. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Here’s an anomaly as old as your fridge magnet: how come gravity is so weak? Hang on, you might say: gravity is strong enough to keep my feet on the ground, and no space agency firing craft into orbit ...
