In 2007, something strange happened over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. According to satellites orbiting Earth, our planet's gravity field developed a continent-scale anomaly before subsiding to its ...

How realistic is artificial gravity in space? This video explores the physics behind the idea, why it’s so difficult to achieve, and how future technology might finally make it ...

Recent advancements in the field of synthetic gravity have been unveiled by scientists, marking a significant leap in our understanding and potential manipulation of gravitational forces. This ...

New observations of two black holes merging have confirmed predictions made decades ago by Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Roy Kerr. A decade ago, scientists first picked up ripples in the ...

Physicists have devised a new model to account for the discomfort that airline passengers know all too well.

By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position without violating Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

Why it's so special: Stars in the Milky Way galaxy are born in huge molecular clouds. The most massive is Sagittarius B2, which is just a few hundred light-years from our the galaxy's central black ...

Members of the STAR collaboration, a group of physicists collecting and analyzing data from particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), have published a new high-precision ...

Time-varying systems, materials with properties that change over time, have opened new possibilities for the experimental manipulation of waves. Contrarily to static systems, which exhibit the same ...

A maelstrom of star formation close to the center of our galaxy has been revealed in two different wavelengths by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), its beautiful images highlighting the intensity ...
