Physicists have measured the smallest gravitational field ever recorded, in an experiment that could help in the search for a unified theory of physics. Of the four fundamental forces known to physics ...

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common 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 ...

Researchers have designed a new type of gravitational wave detector that operates in the milli-Hertz range, a region ...

Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg was rewarded as well, for his varied and continuing contributions to physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

Scientists have unveiled a new approach to detecting gravitational waves in the milli-Hertz frequency range, providing access ...

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 ...
