The gravitational constant describes the intrinsic strength of gravity, and can be used to calculate the gravitational pull between two objects. The gravitational pull between two objects can be ...

The measurement of the Newtonian gravitational constant, G, remains one of the most challenging pursuits in experimental physics. A variety of techniques have been devised over the past two centuries, ...

An illustration of an accelerating space rocket in Tom Siegfried’s essay “Getting a grip on gravity” (SN: 10/17/15, p. 16), explained that a clock at the top of the ship would tick faster than one at ...

You see this all the time in textbooks: This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational ...

A fundamental constant that sets the size of the gravitational force between all objects has finally been pinned down using the quirky quantum behavior of tiny atoms. The new results could help set ...

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.
