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 ...

As humanity continues its exploration of the universe, the low-gravity environment of space presents unusual challenges for scientists and engineers. Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering ...

According to Space.com and Cornell University, NASA astronauts conducted a microbe-based meteorite mining experiment aboard the International Space Station to study mineral extraction in microgravity.

Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more mathematics than measurement. A new proposal for a tabletop experiment now suggests ...

To live on the moon or Mars, humans will need heat and air conditioning that can operate long term in reduced gravity and temperatures hundreds of degrees above or below what we experience on Earth.

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever ...
