For 13 years, the scientists of LIGO—the most ambitious, and expensive, project in the history of the National Science Foundation—had been waiting. LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave ...

Exact solutions in electromagnetic fields and gravitational dynamics offer a rigorous window into the fundamental interactions that govern our universe. By applying advanced mathematical ...

In quantum mechanics, charged particles like electrons can be sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic fields, even when placed in a region where both the electric and the magnetic fields are zero.

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

ELF source an exotic low-mass field (ELF) signal could be created when two black holes merge. (Courtesy: Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes/CC-A-SA) Global networks of quantum sensors could be used to ...

Even teeny objects obey the law of gravity. A gold ball just 2 millimeters wide, with a mass of about 90 milligrams, is now the smallest object to have its gravitational pull measured. Observations of ...
