Gravity can be understood as originating from a warping of space-time, which is shown in this artist impression. Image: Arkitek Scientific Over the Christmas season of 2019, four physicists hovered ...

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.

Zone of divergence: A section through the centre of mass, O, of a planet and the single point, S, on the surface of the planet that touches its Brillouin sphere. The point O is the centre of the ...

The world’s best clocks may be sensitive to an odd mix of quantum and relativistic effects that would stretch time and test ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have recently identified an intriguing gravitational anomaly concealed beneath the icy vastness of Antarctica.

AI is rewriting the laws of physics, uncovering hidden forces, and reshaping our understanding of the universe. Discover the ...

Black holes may defy the famous “no-hair” theorem by leaking residual gravitational ripples that could one day be observed by gravitational-wave detectors. Such an observation would provide evidence ...

New findings suggest that ordinary sound has negative gravitational mass. This is an Inside Science story. (Inside Science) -- The sound of a sonic boom may produce about the same magnitude of ...
