Gravity

The designer of the world's tallest building, SOM, has joined forces with Energy Vault Holdings to investigate the possibility of creating huge skyscrapers that would function as gigantic gravity based energy storage systems.

A Scottish company called Gravitricity has now broken ground on a demonstrator facility for a creative new system that stores energy in the form of “gravity” by lifting and dropping huge weights.

The wonder material graphene has been wrung through just about every experiment on Earth – but how does it fare beyond our planet? A European team has tested graphene in microgravity for the first time, an important step towards realizing it's promising applications in space.

The GRACE space mission is coming to a close. Launched in March 2002, the twin GRACE satellites spent 15 years using the Earth's gravitational field as a tool to gain insights into the movements of water, ice and the Earth's crust.

Aston Martin is known for performance cars, but the marque's latest offering is silent, and creates no emissions. It's also smaller than the average Aston, but don't worry – it isn't a successor to the Cygnet. Meet the Vantage GTE Soapbox, built to take on the Red Bull Soapbox Race in London.

Gravimeters measure tiny changes in the Earth's gravitational fields, and are useful in fields such as oil exploration. Now, using smartphone tech, scientists have made one that's smaller and cheaper than anything that has come before.

The GravityLight was designed to replace the use of kerosene lamps in the developing world. It uses a weight to drive a gear-train and generate electricity from the kinetic energy created. Now, a new version of this safe, cheap and convenient lighting solution has been created.

A group of students at the University of Leicester in the UK have shown that it is theoretically possible to build a pair of battery-powered trousers which would allow the wearer to walk on walls or even the ceiling, if only for a short time.

The Viteo Shower is a portable outdoor shower unit that turns outdoor shower design on its head by pushing jets of water from the base up and over its user. The pressure-sensitive base unit means you simply step onto the non-slip base to start the shower running.

The GravityLight is a LED lamp for the developed world that is powered by gravity.

The gravity-defying CCTV headquarters building is now finally complete - after nearly eight years of construction.

The Gravity Harp features four robotic pendulums, each housing an eleven string harp.
