Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

Although we take a lot of scientific knowledge for granted today, each of the basics – whether it be about light, gravity, mass or the shape of the Earth – had to be theorized and experimentally ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

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. When you purchase through ...

Antimatter has intrigued and confounded physicists for almost a century, and the effect of gravity on antimatter has been a point of disagreement. New research may have settled the debate by finding ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Leonardo da Vinci's centuries-old sketches reveal he may have understood key aspects of gravity long before Galileo, Newton and Einstein. A recent study from the California Institute of Technology ...

A new look at da Vinci's papers reveals his insightful attempts to probe the nature of gravity 500 years ago. Engineers from Caltech have discovered that Leonardo da Vinci's understanding of gravity - ...

A team of engineers studying the 500-year-old, backward writings of Leonardo da Vinci have found evidence that the Italian polymath was working out gravity a century before its foundations were ...

The Juno spacecraft now orbiting Jupiter has a suite of science instruments which will investigate the existence of a possible solid planetary core, map Jupiter’s intense magnetic field, measure the ...

Engineers from Caltech have discovered that Leonardo da Vinci's understanding of gravity—though not wholly accurate—was centuries ahead of his time. In an article published in the journal Leonardo, ...
