Scientists have spent decades trying to understand how gravity operates at its most basic scale. However, no theory has come close to fully explaining it. Now, though, a new theory could finally give ...

General relativity and quantum mechanics are two highly successful theories. The former explains gravity and the latter teams up with special relativity to describe the other three forces of nature: ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...

Axiom Space has launched Project Astronaut, a new initiative to combine human performance science with astronaut training. Portuguese physiologist Emiliano Ventura becomes the program’s first ...

Announced at the 2025 International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Sydney, the program represents a bold attempt to merge ...

The Indian Ocean "gravity hole" is a region where Earth's mass is reduced, leading to weak gravitational pull, lower-than-average sea levels and a puzzle scientists have only just begun to solve. When ...

Four secondary school students investigating ways of growing crops in space are to have their project tested on a low gravity flight. The team from Skerries Community College in Dublin will be the ...

INTERNATIONAL projects in water quality monitoring and life sciences research were among the proposals to secure grants from ...
