Gravity is the force of action between two objects. It’s called a natural force because it acts at a distance rather than needing to be in contact. Gravity is the force that holds us down on Earth and ...

Every time a coffee mug drops, a satellite orbits or an astronaut floats, we are watching the same phenomenon play out under very different disguises. For centuries we have treated gravity as the ...

Physicists in the US have used a tabletop experiment to rule out the existence of strong, gravitational-like forces at short length scales. Such forces, which could hint at additional space–time ...

A multi-decade analysis of a distant pulsar is affirming the longstanding notion that the gravitational constant—one of four fundamental forces of nature—is the same everywhere in the universe.

Researchers have succeeded in measuring the gravitational field of a gold sphere, just 2 mm in diameter, using a highly sensitive pendulum - and thus the smallest gravitational force. The experiment ...
