Scientists have been using complicated, hypothetical particles to explain the Big Bang, but this theory posits that a simpler ...

Exact solutions in electromagnetic fields and gravitational dynamics offer a rigorous window into the fundamental interactions that govern our universe. By applying advanced mathematical ...

In 2019, LIGO and Virgo recorded something truly bizarre – a gravitational wave event less than a tenth of a second in duration. Compared to the drawn-out chirps of black hole binaries on decaying ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors ...

There’s a new entrant in the competition to develop ever-tinier instruments that can detect changes in our planet’s gravitational field — a tabletop device roughly the size of two smartphone stacked ...

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

The weak gravitational pull on a particle just half the mass of a grain of sand has been measured for the first time. This most precise measurement of its kind is a breakthrough towards the quantum ...

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 ...
