The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new ...

Mind = blown.

In 2007, something strange happened over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. According to satellites orbiting Earth, our planet's gravity field developed a continent-scale anomaly before subsiding to its ...

Gravity field modeling and geoid determination are critical tasks in geodesy and Earth sciences, providing insights into the Earth’s mass distribution and its gravitational potential. Researchers ...

For nearly a century, astronomers have watched galaxies spin and the universe expand in ways that visible matter alone cannot explain. The dominant answer has been dark matter, an unseen substance ...

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 ...

A new study shows that slow, deep rock currents inside the Earth have helped shape the planet's strongest large-scale gravitational anomaly under the Antarctic continent. Why is gravity weaker ...

Massive earthquakes don’t just move the ground — they make speed-of-light adjustments to Earth’s gravitational field. Now, researchers have trained computers to identify these tiny gravitational ...

started rising. As the ground rebounded in this fashion, the gravity field changed. “The Earth behaved much like putting your finger into a sponge ball and watching it slowly bounce back,” said ...

Four fundamental forces are known in physics: the weak and strong interactions, and the electromagnetic and gravitational forces. The gravitational force is the weakest of these four. For this reason, ...
