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 ...

The race to return humans to the moon and eventually send astronauts to Mars has forced scientists to confront a difficult reality. Space is dangerous, isolated and unforgiving.

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 ...

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 ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

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 ...

Gravity may not be a fundamental force of nature, but a byproduct of the universe streamlining information like a cosmic computer. Reading time 3 minutes We have long taken it for granted that gravity ...

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, ...
