Ken Laws was in his 40s when he decided to shift his center of gravity.
The SyFy show about colonizing space is based on a book series by the same name — and both are firmly rooted in science.
Scott Pruitt says there's no proof that carbon dioxide pollution is causing the Earth to heat up. Well-established science — and a scientist who's a fellow Republican — says that's flat-out wrong.
The theory of relativity made Albert Einstein a household name. But coming up with the discovery was anything but elementary.
Astrophysicist Janna Levin explains why it took scientists 100 years to confirm one of Einstein’s most outlandish predictions: gravitational waves.
He's helping to uncover the origins of the universe with a massive antenna so sensitive it detected faint invisible ripples in space from 1.3 billion years ago.
When he was 19, Mark Everett’s father died. But his big idea, a surprising interpretation of quantum mechanics, lived on. And if that idea is right, he might still be alive … somewhere.
Harvard physicist Lisa Randall is at the forefront of the search for dark matter. But she thinks good science should be beautiful, too.
For decades, astronauts have had to drink from plastic bags to keep their water and coffee from floating away. Now NASA is trying out a new "zero-gravity cup" that uses physics to simulate taking a normal sip back on the ground.
