Scientists have recently identified an intriguing gravitational anomaly concealed beneath the icy vastness of Antarctica.

According to Newtonian physics, the gravitational attraction between two masses is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance between them – the inverse square law. However, as Most ...

In quantum mechanics, charged particles like electrons can be sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic fields, even when placed in a region where both the electric and the magnetic fields are zero.

Black holes have traditionally been viewed as powerful and destructive forces in the cosmos, capable of consuming anything that ventures too close into their gravitational pull. Yet, a ground-breaking ...

The LIGO team's Professors Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Barry Barish won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2017 for their work ...

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 ...

For 13 years, the scientists of LIGO—the most ambitious, and expensive, project in the history of the National Science Foundation—had been waiting. LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave ...

Lunar laser ranging (LLR) remains one of the most incisive techniques for probing both the intricacies of the Earth–Moon system and the fundamental aspects of gravitational physics. By timing laser ...

Even teeny objects obey the law of gravity. A gold ball just 2 millimeters wide, with a mass of about 90 milligrams, is now the smallest object to have its gravitational pull measured. Observations of ...

ELF source an exotic low-mass field (ELF) signal could be created when two black holes merge. (Courtesy: Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes/CC-A-SA) Global networks of quantum sensors could be used to ...
