Although Earth is approximately spherical, its gravity field doesn't adhere to the same geometry. In visualizations, it more ...

A mysterious gravity dip beneath Antarctica is growing stronger, shaped by deep Earth forces over millions of years. Scientists say it may even have influenced ancient sea levels and ice sheet growth.

Thanks to Newton, we all know that what comes up must come down. But did you know that what comes down comes down with just slightly less pressure if you're standing in Europe or the South Pacific? We ...

In 2007, something strange happened over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. According to satellites orbiting Earth, our planet's gravity field developed a continent-scale anomaly before subsiding to its ...

Clarify one of physics’ most fundamental concepts with “g”: Gravity vs. Gravitational Field explained! 🌍 In this video, we break down the difference between gravitational acceleration and the ...

Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...

After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...

For a long time, scientists knew of a “gravity hole” beneath Antarctica—an area with particularly weak gravitational force. Considering the various threats currently faced by the region, scientists ...

Learn how Antarctica’s gravity hole formed inside Earth and grew stronger as its ice sheets took hold.

“Quantum sensing opens an entirely new domain for U.S. space leadership,” said Dana Anderson, Chief Science Officer at Infleqtion. “By deploying this technology in orbit, we are demonstrating the ...

Infleqtion, a Boulder-based quantum-technology company, said this week that it “will fly the first quantum sensor capable of measuring the Earth's gravitational field and its gradients” as part of ...
