When it comes to understanding the fundamental forces of the universe, gravity is by far the most intuitive. It’s the force that brings us splashing down after jumping from a diving board and the ...

The portable gravimeter developed by Canberra-based Nomad Atomics uses quantum sensing to precisely measure gravitation, but is little larger than a shoebox and rugged enough to cart around on ...

To find features like groundwater under Earth's surface — or under the surface of another world — scientists can sense the subtle marks those features leave in the planet's gravitational field. But ...

The ultra sensitive versions of these sensors, required for accurate detection of tiny changes in the Earth's gravitational field, can be put off by the slightest vibration, but a team from the ...

Aviation giant Airbus is among 16 participants in a new European research project that is aiming to develop a laser-cooled atom quantum sensor for potential deployment in space. The “CARIOQA-PMP” ...

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensors have revolutionised gravimetry by enabling the realisation of compact, low-cost devices capable of measuring minute gravitational variations. These ...

High-tech firm iXblue has announced a scientific and technological breakthrough with the development of what the Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France-based firm is calling “the first industrial compact and ...

Q-CTRL, the quantum infrastructure software specialist, today unveiled advancements in software-ruggedised quantum sensing for navigation in a field trial with Australian Defence on board the Royal ...

A UK collaboration has built a quantum device dubbed a gravimeter that uses cold atoms to make ultra-precise measurements of the strength of gravity. It could be used to survey for oil or minerals, ...
