A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

The movies play an incredibly important role in firing our imaginations about what's possible for humanity's future, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the realm of space travel. Over the past ...

As far as we know, our physical world is governed by four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear forces, and gravity. Apart from playing with bar magnets or marveling at the ...

Gravity remains the dominant force on large astronomical scales, but when it comes to stars in young star clusters the dynamics in these crowded environments cannot be simply explained by the pull of ...

Researchers recently found an elegant solution to a sticky scientific problem in basic fluid mechanics: why water doesn't soak into soil at an even rate, but instead forms what look like fingers of ...

This article is more than 8 years old. Verlinde's model uses this connection between thermodynamics (heat, energy and forces) and information through a mathematical method known as the holographic ...

June 29 (UPI) --The European Space Agency's Euclid mission will launch into space on a Falcon 9 rocket from SpaceX on Saturday or soon after. Many of us who have worked on it will be in Florida to ...
