It's a legendary experiment: Young Galileo, perched atop the Leaning Tower of Pisa, drops cannonballs of different weights to see if all objects fall at the same rate. It's a story that's easy to ...

A young Galileo is perched atop the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He is in the middle of his famous experiment—the one in which he shows, by dropping cannonballs of different weights, that all objects ...

When dropped, two types of atoms accelerate at the same rate despite their differences, much like objects in Galileo’s leaning Tower of Pisa experiment.

Creative science activities turn learning into an exciting adventure, making concepts easy to grasp for kids. These simple experiments can be done at home or in school, using everyday materials to ...

Gravity doesn’t discriminate. An experiment in orbit has confirmed, with precision a hundred times greater than previous efforts, that everything falls the same way under the influence of gravity. The ...

It turns out that surprised babies might run little science experiments to explain why objects defy their expectations.
