A new sound-based laser could measure gravity with unprecedented precision and reshape navigation technology.

THE clinical value of the urinary specific gravity is unchallenged by the thousands who routinely perform it as part of every urinalysis. The claim that it differentiates transudate from exudate in ...

Astronomers have found a clever new way to slice and dice the flickering light from a distant star in a way that reveals the strength of gravity at its surface. That is important because a star’s ...

Wide binary stars with separation greater than about 2000 astronomical units are interesting natural laboratories that allow a direct probe of gravity at low acceleration weaker than about 1 nanometer ...

Scientists are closer to unravelling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level. Experts have never fully understood how the force works in ...

Traditionally, scientists have measured gravity’s influence on atoms by tracking how fast atoms tumble down tall chutes. Such experiments can help test Einstein’s theory of gravity and precisely ...

A group of theoretical physicists, including two physicists from the University of Groningen, have proposed a 'table-top' device that could measure gravity waves. However, their actual aim is to ...

Researchers have devised a new way to measure gravity, and they have done this by measuring the differences in atoms while they are in a superposition state. To give a bit of background on this new ...

A device that can measure the gravitational force on a particle that weighs less than a grain of pollen could help us understand how gravity works in the quantum world. Despite keeping you stuck to ...

It’s 5 a.m. and a somewhat sleepy scientist is getting ready to leave his home in Honomu and head to the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) office on Kamehameha Avenue in Hilo. Yawning — and not ...
