Artificial gravity has long been the stuff of science fiction. Picture the wheel-shaped ships from films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Martian, imaginary craft that generate their own gravity by ...

Experimental design (a) and results for the space experiment (b) and the ground-based control experiments (c & d). BMIE: the normalized BM inversion effect; BMUpr & BMInv: task performances for the ...

Researchers have made a new discovery about the role of gravity in granular materials which could have applications in the pharmaceutical industry and provide a new understanding of images of granular ...

Segment 3F: Gravity We investigate the force of gravity. Segment 3F: Gravity We travel to an indoor skydiving facility to investigate the force of gravity. Concepts such as weight, Newton's Law of ...

Caltech engineer Mory Gharib was poring over the digitized notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci one day, looking for sketches of flow visualization to share with his graduate students for inspiration.

Quantum deviations Large masses such as a galaxy curve space–time and objects move along geodesics within this curvature. If space–time itself has quantum properties, then deviations arise between a ...

To what extent has Earth's gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...
