Scientists first detected ripples in space known as gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes in September 2015.

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 ...

Researchers have redetermined the gravitational constant G using a new measurement technique. Although there is still a large degree of uncertainty regarding this value, the new method offers great ...

First, gravitational waves proved Einstein correct. Now, they’ve confirmed Stephen Hawking was right about black holes.

A quantum probe for gravity: Physicists have detected a tiny phase shift in atomic wave packets due to gravity-induced relativistic time dilation – an example of the Aharonov-Bohm effect in ...

Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg was rewarded as well, for his varied and continuing contributions to physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

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 ...
