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.

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool ...

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 ...

New findings suggest that ordinary sound has negative gravitational mass. This is an Inside Science story. (Inside Science) -- The sound of a sonic boom may produce about the same magnitude 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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. One of the oldest predictions of Einstein's general theory of ...

The study of gravitational dynamics interweaves the classical and quantum realisations of gravity, employing both traditional methods and modern amplitude techniques. At its core, the subject ...

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 ...
