Scientists in Wales have built the world’s most sensitive table-top interferometer, which is a miniature, ultra-precise ...

Physicist claims to have the formula for creating and controlling gravitational waves iStock A maths researcher claims to have produced the formula to not only create gravitational fields, but also ...

If the recent discovery of gravitational waves emanating from the early universe holds up under scrutiny, it will illuminate a connection between gravity and quantum mechanics and perhaps, in the ...

A team of scientists led by expert Raúl Jiménez, ICREA researcher at the University of Barcelona's Institute of Cosmos Sciences (ICCUB), in collaboration with the University of Padua (Italy), has ...

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.

Exact solutions in electromagnetic fields and gravitational dynamics offer a rigorous window into the fundamental interactions that govern our universe. By applying advanced mathematical ...

Even teeny objects obey the law of gravity. A gold ball just 2 millimeters wide, with a mass of about 90 milligrams, is now the smallest object to have its gravitational pull measured. Observations of ...

All matter has a gravitational field that attracts other objects. The more mass an object has, the greater its gravitational field will be. For example, the Earth has a greater gravitational field ...

One of the great physics experiments of our age looks ready to begin its quest. Scientists have held a dedication ceremony to inaugurate the Advanced Ligo, external facilities in the US. This pair of ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2017 goes to Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish, and Kip S. Thorne "for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves." The Royal Swedish ...
