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 ...

A new experiment will test the notion that gravity, one of the fundamental forces in the physical world, relies upon quantum physics to work. If so, it would further indicate the centrality of quantum ...

Gravity used to be the most dependable rule in the cosmic rulebook, the quiet background force that never changed its mind. Now a series of discoveries and bold claims are turning that certainty into ...

For astronauts to go on long missions to the moon or Mars, they need a refrigerator. But today’s fridges aren’t designed to work in zero gravity or upside down if oriented that way when a spacecraft ...

Southwest Research Institute is studying the process of boiling liquids under partial gravity conditions during two parabolic flights. The project aims to better understand how liquids boil in partial ...

A new discovery suggests gravitational fields can enable matter to become quantum entangled — and that's even if the concept of quantum gravity does not exist. The idea comes from two London-based ...
