Although Earth is approximately spherical, its gravity field doesn't adhere to the same geometry. In visualizations, it more closely resembles a potato, with bumps and divots. One of the strongest of ...

After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...

The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

Achieving sub-second 3D printing, DISH combines wave-optics modeling and angular illumination to improve resolution and depth in additive manufacturing.

While a "gravity hole" in Antarctica has been on scientists’ radar for some time, its history has never been fully understood. New research is beginning to change that, and in doing so, suggest ...

The broadest planned survey by NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will reveal hundreds of millions of galaxies scattered across the cosmos. After Roman launches as soon as this fall, ...

A team of physicists from the University of Ottawa have developed a new theoretical model that shines new light on how ...

Ever had an idea for something that looked cool, but wouldn't work well in practice? When it comes to designing things like ...

Arcturus Stage creates a 3D map of a sports field in real time, but how will this impact creatives and the wider human ...

An international collaboration of astrophysicists that includes researchers from Yale has created and tested a detection system that uses gravitational waves to map out the locations of merging black ...
