    Newton derived theories about gravity by studying stationary or very slowly moving objects. Laboratory measures of G performed since share this fundamental approach. While this may accurately measure G, any possible relative velocity dependence to this constant or to the force of gravity goes undetected. Determining that force involves only the masses, the separation, and […]

    Gravity gets measured to greater certainty

    Important but imprecisely measured, the gravitational constant, G, is given its most exact experimental value yet, while a pioneering investigation into gravity finds that extra dimensions, if they do exist, occupy spaces of less than a couple tenths of a millimeter.

    Female owls: First to advertise good genes

    Swiss researchers find the first case of a female flashing ornaments that advertise her gene quality to choosy males.
