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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

NASA astronaut candidates have to meet a long list of criteria before the space agency decides they're fit to carry out important duties in space. When astronauts return to the Moon in the near future ...

Wired Science is combing NASA's enormous image archive to bring you some of its most inspiring, awesome and weird photos. This 1965 shot of the Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator is one of our ...

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 ...

NASA awarded a pair of contracts worth nearly $200,000 to Astrobotic Technology Inc. and Carnegie Mellon University, both in Pittsburgh, to study Moon excavation robots and methods to simulate lunar ...

Artistic representation of the implemented photonic experiment in which entanglement between the polarizations of single photons is mediated by the independent degree of freedom of the photon path.

Left: A schematic of the magnet system designed by Sanavandi and Guo. Right: Contour plot of the trapping energy of a water sample placed in the proposed magnet, which shows the size and the shape of ...

Researchers have developed a novel design for a low-gravity simulator that promises to break new ground for future space research and habitation. As humanity continues its exploration of the universe, ...
