There’s a new entrant in the competition to develop ever-tinier instruments that can detect changes in our planet’s gravitational field — a tabletop device roughly the size of two smartphone stacked ...

Between 2006 and 2008, Something in the Bowels of the Earth Altered Its Gravity— and Left No Trace Until Now
A quiet but measurable shift in Earth’s gravity field between 2006 and 2008 has baffled scientists for years. Now, nearly two decades on, new research suggests the anomaly may have been triggered by a ...
Why it's incredible: The huge gravity hole formed on the site of a prehistoric ocean. The Indian Ocean "gravity hole" is the site of the deepest dent in Earth's gravitational field. It's a circular ...
A new study shows that slow, deep rock currents inside the Earth have helped shape the planet's strongest large-scale gravitational anomaly under the Antarctic continent. Why is gravity weaker over ...
The gravitational tug of Mars may be strong enough to stir up Earth’s ocean, shifting its sediments as part of a 2.4-million-year climate cycle, researchers claim. It has long been accepted that ...
Gravitational anomalies detected by NASA and the German Aerospace Center’s GRACE satellites confused scientists for years. These anomalies are fluctuations in gravity, and while they were suspected to ...

When black holes need a place to crash, they prefer a nice, bright quasar. So says Chiara Mingarelli, an assistant professor of physics in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and a key member of an ...
A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By transferring minute amounts of energy between light and gravity, the interaction ...
