Upcoming experimental tests of gravity’s quantumness aim to resolve one of the biggest questions in physics, but theorists ...

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

The gravitational anomaly happened around the same time as a geomagnetic "jerk" — an abrupt change in the variation of ...

Researchers have succeeded in measuring the gravitational field of a gold sphere, just 2 mm in diameter, using a highly sensitive pendulum - and thus the smallest gravitational force. The experiment ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

Physicists have measured the smallest gravitational field ever recorded, in an experiment that could help in the search for a unified theory of physics. Of the four fundamental forces known to physics ...

Magnets at 60 Tesla field strength will enable testing of gravitational field propulsion. The so-called “hyperdrive” concept won the 2005 American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics award for the ...

Take a pencil, stretch out your arm, and let go. We all know that the pencil will fall. OK, but what about dropping a bowling ball? Is that the same thing? No wait! How about a watermelon dropped off ...

Astronomers have captured the clearest picture yet of how massive stars are born, revealing a dramatic interplay between ...
