Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more ...

The parabolic flight travels up and down several times on a trajectory resembling an arch, providing 22 seconds of zero ...

When a germinating seed is laid on its side, some roots promptly bend earthward, while others turn more slowly. Directed growth of plant roots toward gravity is critical to ensure the availability of ...

What happens belowground in a corn field is easy to overlook, but corn root architecture can play an important role in water and nutrient acquisition, affecting drought tolerance, water use efficiency ...

New, exciting research on quantum computation comes from an international collaboration led by the University of Nottingham. Their study proposes an experiment that would shed light on quantum gravity ...

Plants are able to respond to their environment and changes in conditions. In the phototropism phenomenon, for example, plant parts will turn towards the sun. And gravitropism refers to the ability of ...

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 ...

Roots ‘feel’ gravity to extend and anchor themselves in the soil, but they can alter their growth direction toward a water source when needed. However, according to a new study by scientists at the ...

A recent experiment at Fermilab has delivered intriguing results that challenge standard predictions, adding fuel to the ongoing quest for quantum gravity. These findings, which involve the behavior ...
