Something seems to be missing from the universe, and the favored model of physics calls it “dark matter” – but despite a century of searching, it remains a no-show. A new paper proposes an alternative ...

For centuries, gravity has been the cornerstone of physics—but what if it’s not the universe’s true force? The Electric Universe theory claims that invisible cosmic currents shape stars, planets, and ...

In the 95 years we’ve known about antimatter, physicists have not tested how the elusive inverse of ordinary matter is affected by gravity, the force that pulls masses to Earth and seems to affect all ...

Dark matter is currently the most widely accepted hypothesis for explaining some of the weirdness we see in the cosmos – but it’s not the only possibility. Now, a team of astronomers has discovered ...

High-rise buildings could soon revolutionize their energy management by adopting gravity energy storage systems. Recent ...

You know the Slinky, but have you ever wondered how it walks down stairs, or why it appears to hang in midair when dropped? Scientists have peered into these phenomena for decades, but now a Princeton ...

Jon Chase brings alive a series of fun and engaging demonstrations introducing the subject of space science. These short films are from the BBC series, Space Science Bites. Suitable for teaching GCSE ...

A team of physicists just snared $3 million for testing the law of gravity like never before. Eric Adelberger, Jens Gundlach and Blayne Heckel won the 2021 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics ...

This is an exciting time for the physics community. The Nobel Prize in Physics was announced last week. A Berkeley professor, along with two other scientists, his postdoc and a ...
