The most average of objects such as this toy gyroscope are completely hypnotic when you add in the x factor of the International Space Station and zero gravity. The BBC got British astronaut Tim Peake ...

Pegasi, following the full-speed spin-up of gyro #2 yesterday. Each full-speed spin-up takes most of a day. Helium gas is flowed over the gyro for 90 seconds, and tests are run to ensure that the ...

NASA’s Gravity Probe B (GP-B) mission has confirmed two key predictions derived from Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which the spacecraft was designed to test. The experiment, launched ...

A grueling but ultimately successful effort to test Einstein’s 100-year-old general theory of relativity has come to a close more than half a century after it began. Twenty-one papers published online ...

The longest-running project in NASA’s history has completed its mission. Gravity Probe B has finally confirmed that the Earth drags spacetime around as it rotates like a spoon twisting in a jar of ...

The Gyro Spin Spectre Optical Levitating Gyro Spinner stands out as a marvel of engineering and design. This precision-machined gyroscope, crafted from stainless steel, the gyroscope spinning top ...

Japanese scientists have reported that small gyroscopes lose weight when spun under certain conditions, apparently in defiance of gravity. If proved correct, the finding would mark a stunning ...
