Astronomers have found a clever new way to slice and dice the flickering light from a distant star in a way that reveals the strength of gravity at its surface. That is important because a star’s ...

A group of theoretical physicists, including two physicists from the University of Groningen, have proposed a 'table-top' device that could measure gravity waves. However, their actual aim is to ...

The goal of biomonitoring is to quantitatively assess environmental or occupational chemical exposure by measuring either the parent chemical or its metabolite in various specimen samples. Single spot ...

Back in the Apollo mission days to the moon in 1972, the moon rover that the astronauts drove around had instruments on board to measure the gravity of the surface. Scientists wanted to measure the ...

You might expect that, all these years after Newton, we might have a good measure of his gravitational constant, G. As the authors of a new paper on the topic note, there are plenty of reasons to want ...

Around 10,000 people die in earthquakes each year, and between 2.6 and 3.1 million people are estimated to die in quakes in the coming century. Once a quake is triggered, each second that ticks by is ...

Astronomers have found a clever new way to slice and dice the flickering light from a distant star in a way that reveals its surface gravity, one of the key properties that astronomers use to ...
