Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

From egg drops to marble runs, gravity experiments turn abstract science into exciting play. These hands-on activities spark curiosity while teaching core physics concepts. Perfect for classrooms or ...

After a 10-year effort, physicists got a value for “Big G” that does not settle the debate over one of nature’s hardest numbers to nail down.

Measuring the strength of gravity is extraordinarily difficult, and different experiments have always disagreed – but a new ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...
