It is now thought that the source of this anomaly was a phase transition in which one mineral’s structure was altered.

Researchers have discovered there was an anomaly in Earth's gravitational field between 2006 and 2008, potentially caused by ...

Why is the universe expanding at an ever-increasing rate? This is one of the most exciting yet unresolved questions in modern ...

Black holes embody the ultimate abyss. They are the most powerful sources of gravity in the universe, capable of dramatically distorting space and time around them. When disturbed, they begin to "ring ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

Several new projects that aim to exploit the Earth’s gravity for power hint at how electric vehicles could unlock otherwise impossible ways of generating energy. They include trains across the ...
