A bundle of magnets and glass had a slight but detectable gravitational pull, pushing scientists closer to the boundary between classical and quantum physics. Reading time 3 minutes Despite keeping us ...

“Quantum sensing opens an entirely new domain for U.S. space leadership,” said Dana Anderson, Chief Science Officer at Infleqtion. “By deploying this technology in orbit, we are demonstrating the ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A illustration shows a quantum experiment investigating gravity on a tiny scale. Scientists have determined a way to measure ...

What is mass? It seems like a synonym for weight, but that isn’t quite right. Weight is how we measure the pressure that gravity exerts upon things. But mass? Mass is the actual presence of an item — ...

Wide binary stars with separation greater than about 2000 astronomical units are interesting natural laboratories that allow a direct probe of gravity at low acceleration weaker than about 1 nanometer ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) wants to land a tiny mobile phone-sized satellite on an asteroid to measure its gravity. Thus, measuring the gravity will be no easy task, as the gravity on a body such ...

Scientists are a step closer to unraveling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level. Experts have never fully understood how the force that ...

Quantum scale gravity has long been a mystery to physics, but things could be starting to change. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

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 ...

Astronomers have found a clever new way to slice and dice the flickering light from a distant star in a way that reveals the strength of gravity at its surface. That is important because a star’s ...
