Gravity experiments on the kitchen table: Why a tiny, tiny measurement may be a big leap forward for physics

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

In 1973, Nasa sent two fish and 50 eggs into space; the unusual experiment helped reveal what happens to living organisms without gravity

When humans leave Earth, even something as basic as knowing which way is up can become confusing. That made fish surprisingly ...
