File this one under "fun to think about, probably not changing your day job": a new study just dropped that suggests gravity itself might be the smoking gun that our entire universe is one big ...

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, fluid motion and observed data, hundreds of these models agree that more carbon ...

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 ...

Far beyond Neptune, in the frozen depths of the Kuiper Belt, many ancient objects oddly resemble giant snowmen made of ice and rock. For years, scientists wondered how these delicate two-lobed shapes ...

Physicists have been exploring the theoretical possibility of spaceships driven by compressing the four-dimensional spacetime for decades. Although this so-called 'warp drive' originates from the ...

HOUSTON—Blue Origin’s 29th New Shepard suborbital launch on Feb. 4 successfully provided 30 technology payloads with brief exposure to simulated lunar gravity conditions, a first for the company’s ...

What if gravity, the force that holds your feet to the ground and binds galaxies together, is much more than a fundamental law of nature? What if it’s actually the smoking-gun clue that suggests ...

The dynamical dance of physics can entrance — as the latest supercomputer models of the cosmos demonstrate. Dubbed FLAMINGO, the set of simulations captures the emergence of the structure of the ...

Cocoons of debris around dying stars could shake ripples in spacetime unlike any astronomers have ever seen. “This is a potential source of gravitational waves that has never been investigated before, ...

Astronomers have long debated why so many icy objects in the outer solar system look like snowmen. Michigan State University ...
