These dips in the gravitational field are formally known as gravity anomalies, but they're more commonly called “gravity holes". The largest is found in the middle of the Indian Ocean, spanning over 3 ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at once, described by a mathematical object called a wavefunction.

Gravitational waves from black holes may soon reveal where dark matter is hiding. A new model shows how dark matter surrounding massive black holes leaves detectable fingerprints in the waves recorded ...

The weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field, a region over the South Atlantic where the field’s strength is significantly reduced compared to its surrounding area, has grown by an area nearly the size of ...

Last year, a vocal group of critics expressed their discontent with 11-1 Indiana and 11-2 SMU being selected for the College Football Playoff over Alabama and Ole Miss, both of whom finished 9-3 ...

Analysts at HSBC raised their silver price forecast for 2025, 2026, and 2027, citing strong support from high gold prices and safe-haven demand due to plenty of geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
