Nearly twenty years ago, satellites detected an unusual gravitational signal off the coast of Africa, revealing a deep ...

Researchers have discovered there was an anomaly in Earth's gravitational field between 2006 and 2008, potentially caused by ...

As they whirl around in low-Earth orbit, satellite configurations are far more sensitive to changes in Earth's gravity field ...

The Indian Ocean Geoid Low ranks as the largest negative "gravity hole" anomaly on Earth, which is why the “thumbprint” jumps ...

Gravity field modeling and geoid determination are critical tasks in geodesy and Earth sciences, providing insights into the Earth’s mass distribution and its gravitational potential. Researchers ...

To find features like groundwater under Earth's surface — or under the surface of another world — scientists can sense the subtle marks those features leave in the planet's gravitational field. But ...

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 ...

One of the most astonishing facts about science is how universally applicable the laws of nature are. Every particle obeys the same rules, experiences the same forces, and sees the same fundamental ...

started rising. As the ground rebounded in this fashion, the gravity field changed. “The Earth behaved much like putting your finger into a sponge ball and watching it slowly bounce back,” said ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

Astronomers have captured the clearest picture yet of how massive stars are born, revealing a dramatic interplay between ...
