A new discovery suggests gravitational fields can enable matter to become quantum entangled — and that's even if the concept ...

Of the four fundamental forces, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in our everyday lives, but perhaps surprisingly, it’s the weakest and hardest to measure here on Earth. Now, physicists in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. In a moment over 100 years in the making, the 2017 Nobel Prize in ...

In 2010, renowned string theory expert Erik Verlinde from the University of Amsterdam and the Delta Institute for Theoretical Physics proposed that gravity is not a fundamental force of nature, but ...

The international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration has completed the fourth observation campaign (called O4) of the international network of gravitational wave detectors. Launched in May 2023, the ...

A team of physicists just snared $3 million for testing the law of gravity like never before. Eric Adelberger, Jens Gundlach and Blayne Heckel won the 2021 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics ...
