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 ...

Gravity measurements have evolved into a pivotal tool for probing Earth’s internal processes and environmental changes. Through highly precise instruments and innovative data analysis, researchers can ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

When it comes to understanding the fundamental forces of the universe, gravity is by far the most intuitive. It’s the force that brings us splashing down after jumping from a diving board and the ...

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Scientists have attempted to disprove Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity for the better part of a century. After testing and confirming Einstein’s prediction in 2002 that ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...
