Time really does move faster on Mars, but the breakthrough that confirms it did not come from a spacecraft’s stopwatch.

The idea of Earth “falling” might sound a bit puzzling at first, but it’s a super interesting concept that shakes up how we ...

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 ...

ISS microgravity experiments reveal how particles cluster, helping science on Earth and future space missions.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
