A new discovery suggests gravitational fields can enable matter to become quantum entangled — and that's even if the concept ...

A recent experiment at Fermilab has delivered intriguing results that challenge standard predictions, adding fuel to the ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called ...

Of the four fundamental forces of physics, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in everyday life, but it’s also the only one that can’t currently be explained by quantum physics. Now scientists ...

In the 95 years we’ve known about antimatter, physicists have not tested how the elusive inverse of ordinary matter is affected by gravity, the force that pulls masses to Earth and seems to affect all ...

ALMA reveals that gravity reorients magnetic fields in 17 young clusters, aligning them as gas collapses and accelerating ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

Last week, four lasers were projected into the sky above the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Paranal site in Chile. The ...
