For distant stars with planets orbiting them, this gravitational information is key in determining whether any of those planets can harbor life. The new method is described in a study published today ...

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 ...

Researchers have devised a new way to measure gravity, and they have done this by measuring the differences in atoms while they are in a superposition state. To give a bit of background on this new ...

Physicists have measured the smallest gravitational field ever recorded, in an experiment that could help in the search for a unified theory of physics. Of the four fundamental forces known to physics ...

BOSTON, Dec. 27 (UPI) --Researchers have found a way to improve atom interferometers, the most common and precise tool for measuring gravity. Atom interferometers measure difference in wave ...

Traditionally, scientists have measured gravity’s influence on atoms by tracking how fast atoms tumble down tall chutes. Such experiments can help test Einstein’s theory of gravity and precisely ...
