By replacing single atoms with an entangled pair of ions, physicists in Germany have demonstrated unprecedented stability in ...

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 ...

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

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.

The total energy of the ball consists of its potential energy (related to position) plus its kinetic energy (related to motion). To zero out both components, you would have to give a precise value to ...

It turns out that it is still not so easy to approach the mechanism of what "hands" or "hooks" matter, field and waves coming from two particles are hooked in such a way that the mechanical movement o ...

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity to its toughest test yet.

The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

An international collaboration of astrophysicists that includes researchers from Yale has created and tested a detection system that uses gravitational waves to map out the locations of merging black ...

Simone Colombo is developing a faster method for cooling gases with a host of quantum applications Image by Gerd Altmann from ...

The second reason is simple: location, location, location! The millisecond pulsar appears to be near Sagittarius A*, the ...

The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...
