A vast “gravity hole” beneath Antarctica became stronger as the continent shifted into an ice-dominated world tens of ...

Although Earth is approximately spherical, its gravity field doesn't adhere to the same geometry. In visualizations, it more closely resembles a potato, with bumps and divots. One of the strongest of ...

EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, you can see gravity’s fingerprint. It’s in the path the moon takes around Earth each night and the humbling thump when you wipe out on an icy patch of sidewalk. The force of ...

The research suggests that changes in Earth's interior may have influenced Antarctica's climate history.

Emergent gravity is a bold idea. It claims that the force of gravity is a mere illusion, more akin to friction or heat—a property that emerges from some deeper physical interaction. This emergent ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...

A new gravitational model suggests dark matter may not exist. By allowing gravity to weaken more slowly at large distances, physicist Naman Kumar shows galaxy rotation curves can be explained using ...
