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 ...

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, ...

Magnetotelluric (MT) data, which contain measurements of electric and magnetic field variations at Earth's surface, provide ...

Ultra-accurate simulations of the gravity field guide toward a new mathematical foundation of gravity modelling. A layered Earth. (Courtesy: iStock/AlexLMX) The Earth is not a perfect sphere. This ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

Could it be that the universe’s first structures were born not from enigmatic inflaton fields, but from the echoes of ancient gravitational waves? In a shocking shift from the conventional picture of ...

The unique oscillations in binary neutron stars right before they merge could have big implications for the insights scientists can glean from gravitational wave detection. The unique oscillations in ...

NEW YORK & STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scientists at Applied Physics, an independent group of scientists and engineers who advise companies and governments on science and technology for both ...

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.
