To live on the moon or Mars, humans will need heat and air conditioning that can operate long term in reduced gravity and temperatures hundreds of degrees above or below what we experience on Earth.

From Newton’s falling apple to Einstein’s curved spacetime, our understanding of gravity has come a long way, yet this ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

A new experiment will test the notion that gravity, one of the fundamental forces in the physical world, relies upon quantum physics to work. If so, it would further indicate the centrality of quantum ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — After a decade of preparation and two years of active experiments in space, a facility that Purdue University and NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland designed, built and ...

A bizarre "cosmic glitch" in the theory of how the gravity of the universe works may have been mended. The strange glitch in Einstein's description of gravity in his theory of general relativity may ...

NASA astronaut Frank Rubio services the Flow Boiling and Condensation Experiment (FBCE) on the International Space Station, designed, built and tested by Purdue and NASA’s Glenn Research Center. While ...
