Free teacher resource for primary science. In a practical investigation, Mwaksy and Greg look at how unsupported objects fall ...
Physicists have just dropped a new precise measurement for gravity. The newly published value for the strength of gravity, known as “G” or “Big G”, is significantly smaller than some previous ...
For more than 200 years, scientists have struggled to pin down the exact strength of gravity — and one physicist spent a decade chasing the answer while keeping his own results hidden from himself.

An Antarctic large-scale experiment is striving to find out if gravity also exists at the quantum level. An extraordinary particle able to travel undisturbed through space seems to hold the answer.
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 ...
Physics is filled with mysteries – and, believe it or not, gravity remains one of them. We rely on gravity to explain things large and small. But at a fundamental level, we still don’t fully ...
The Juno spacecraft now orbiting Jupiter has a suite of science instruments which will investigate the existence of a possible solid planetary core, map Jupiter’s intense magnetic field, measure the ...
A viral claim warning of catastrophic consequences if Earth were to “lose gravity” for seven seconds in August 2026 has spread rapidly across social media, drawing millions of views and fuelling ...
Zero gravity, often depicted in science fiction and space documentaries, is a fascinating concept that sparks curiosity and wonder. Commonly misunderstood, zero gravity is not the absence of gravity ...
