Quantum mechanical methods can now be used to study gravity. Scientists in Austria have developed a new measurement method that allows them to test the fundamental theories of physics. Quantum ...
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 ...
Grab a mixing bowl from your kitchen, throw in a handful of aluminum balls, apply some high voltage, and watch an elegant dance unfold where particles re-arrange themselves into a distinct “crystal” ...
Physicists have taken a new approach to whether all black holes conform to Einstein’s theory of general relativity or if ...
Astronomers have found a clever new way to slice and dice the flickering light from a distant star in a way that reveals its surface gravity, one of the key properties that astronomers use to ...
Researchers are developing a new technique to help visualize the complex internal layering and anomalous structures inside planetary bodies, including the Moon. Credit: NGC 54/Wikimedia, CC BY-SA 4.0 ...
