Scientists have recently identified an intriguing gravitational anomaly concealed beneath the icy vastness of Antarctica. This fascinating discovery prompts us to explore its origins, the methods used ...

It’s all about the encounter physics.” With those words, MIT Professor of Planetary Sciences Richard Binzel emphasized the ...

On Sept. 13, 2007, Japan launched the Kaguya spacecraft on a mission to the moon. Formally known as SELENE, which is short ...

started rising. As the ground rebounded in this fashion, the gravity field changed. “The Earth behaved much like putting your finger into a sponge ball and watching it slowly bounce back,” said ...

To find features like groundwater under Earth's surface — or under the surface of another world — scientists can sense the subtle marks those features leave in the planet's gravitational field. But ...

Engineers have designed a compact, battery-powered radio probe that could help unlock the secrets of alien planets. The proposed small probe, known as the Gravity Imaging Radio Observer (GIRO), would ...

The field of gravity modelling and inversion techniques focuses on deciphering the Earth’s subsurface density distributions through the interpretation of gravitational measurements. At its core, this ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

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 ...

Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm afternoon, he saw an apple fall from a tree and wondered why it should fall down ...

The third Quantum Gravity conference took place at Penn State University from 21 to 25 July 2025, bringing together ...
