Lunar regolith presented a natural fit for powder-based processes, with 90% of particles falling below 1,000 micrometers. However, its jagged, irregular morphology — shaped by meteorite impacts in the ...

In Ridley Scott’s ALIEN, the audience isn’t introduced to the Xenomorph right off the bat, but to the glorious Nostromo travelling through space. Utilizing industrial scrap and ...

Astronomers have discovered a flattened structure of matter around the Milky Way that explains the unusual motion of nearby galaxies.

Earth’s gravity has a lot to do with what people think is up and what is down. Things fall down toward the ground, but that direction depends on where you are.

And in one of the most remote corners of the planet, beneath Antarctica, gravity is at its weakest. In a new study published ...

A team of geophysicists has traced the origins of Earth’s most extreme gravitational anomaly, a vast depression beneath ...

Gravity may seem constant, but it actually varies across the planet—and one of the strangest places is Antarctica, where gravity is slightly weaker than expected. Scientists have traced this “gravity ...

The “gravity hole” in East Antarctica formed at least 70 million years ago after convection in Earth’s mantle. The weak ...
