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 ...

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

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

Scientists propose that gravitational waves shaped the universe. Their model challenges inflation theory. How exactly did the ...

Four fundamental forces are known in physics: the weak and strong interactions, and the electromagnetic and gravitational forces. The gravitational force is the weakest of these four. For this reason, ...

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 ...

Could it be that the universe’s first structures were born not from enigmatic inflaton fields, but from the echoes of ancient gravitational waves? In a shocking shift from the conventional picture of ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
