Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of ...

Clarify one of physics’ most fundamental concepts with “g”: Gravity vs. Gravitational Field explained! 🌍 In this video, we break down the difference between gravitational acceleration and the ...

Four fundamental forces are known in physics: the weak and strong interactions, and the electromagnetic and gravitational forces. The gravitational force is the weakest of these four. For this reason, ...

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

In quantum mechanics, charged particles like electrons can be sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic fields, even when placed in a region where both the electric and the magnetic fields are zero.

Infleqtion, a Boulder-based quantum-technology company, said this week that it “will fly the first quantum sensor capable of measuring the Earth's gravitational field and its gradients” as part of ...

Thanks to Newton, we all know that what comes up must come down. But did you know that what comes down comes down with just slightly less pressure if you’re standing in Europe or the South Pacific? We ...

Fine balance The researchers measured the gravitational field between two gold masses of 1mm radius each that are brought close to each other. (Courtesy: Tobias Westphal, University of Vienna) ...

At the end of the 18th century, the British scientist Henry Cavendish measured the force of gravity between two objects for the first time in a laboratory. The objects in question were lead balls, one ...
