A new study has revealed that gravity's effect on Earth is constantly shaping the surface of our planet. When our planet formed, it did so by pulling dust and rock toward its gravitational field. As ...
This new propulsion system could rewrite the rules of spaceflight—not to mention completely defy conventional physics.
China has quietly built a machine that bends one of the most stubborn limits in physics research: gravity itself. By pushing ...
On March 17, 2002, the German-US satellite duo GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) were launched to map the global gravitational field with unprecedented precision. After all, the mission ...

NASA scientists have discovered a third global energy field around Earth. Known as the ambipolar electric field, this force drives charged particles into space above the poles. Two major global energy ...
Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...
