Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

ALMA reveals that gravity reorients magnetic fields in 17 young clusters, aligning them as gas collapses and accelerating ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other ...

Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm afternoon, he saw an apple fall from a tree and wondered why it should fall down ...

The field of gravity modelling and inversion techniques focuses on deciphering the Earth’s subsurface density distributions through the interpretation of gravitational measurements. At its core, this ...

A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...

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 ...

A new probe in development known as GIRO represents a low-cost step toward unlocking the secrets of the outer planets, all through the invisible pull of gravity. Engineers have designed a compact, ...
