The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

A team at UNIGE has uncovered a geometric structure once thought to be purely theoretical at the core of quantum materials, opening the door to major advances in future electronics. How can ...

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

We take part in a real zero gravity science flight. This is not tourism but an actual research campaign with the European ...

George Musser’s new book finds resonances between the science of the latest wonder materials and string theory, quantum gravity, and the origins of space and time A new short volume by veteran science ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

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 ...

A longstanding goal in physics has been to link general relativity with quantum theory and so unify the forces of nature. Theories of quantum gravity, however, are plagued by the weak theoretical ...
