The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

GRAVITY, is a 4-beam interferometric combiner at VLT-I operating in K-band. It is fully described on these pages. Deadline for GRAVITY SV proposals is March 25 2016 18:00 (CET). Proposals need to be ...

In the April 1981 issue of Popular Science, we explored the many initiatives and techniques used in the exciting hunt for sensing gravity waves, then out of reach. By Bill Gourgey Published May 18, ...

A little more than a year ago, humanity got its first good look at the most mysterious object of the vast universe. For the first time, astronomers had imaged a black hole, which was lurking on the ...

After more than 15 productive years in orbit, the U.S./German GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) satellite mission has ended science operations. After more than 15 productive years in ...

Artificial gravity has long been the stuff of science fiction. Picture the wheel-shaped ships from films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Martian, imaginary craft that generate their own gravity by ...

Gravity is tough. It took Newton a long time to crack it and a lot of Newtonian physicists a hundred years to confirm Einstein’s gravitational theories. And that’s the naturally occurring stuff.
