A team of engineers studying the 500-year-old, backward writings of Leonardo da Vinci have found evidence that the Italian polymath was working out gravity a century before its foundations were ...
Antimatter has intrigued and confounded physicists for almost a century, and the effect of gravity on antimatter has been a point of disagreement. New research may have settled the debate by finding ...
Engineers from Caltech have discovered that Leonardo da Vinci’s understanding of gravity—though not wholly accurate—was centuries ahead of his time. In an article published in the journal Leonardo, ...
High precision: the BASE experiment at CERN has put tight limits on some properties of the antiproton. (Courtesy: Maximilien Brice/CERN/CC-BY-4.0) Precise measurements of the motions of antiprotons ...
The triangle ain't equilateral. Also, I read the jar drawing as being constant speed, not constant acceleration. Each consecutive falling object is at a constant horizontal distance. At the small ...
If you dropped antimatter, would it fall down or up? In a unique laboratory experiment, researchers have now observed the downward path taken by individual atoms of antihydrogen, providing a ...
