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

A new study shows that slow, deep rock currents inside the Earth have helped shape the planet's strongest large-scale ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Once again, physicists have confirmed one of Albert Einstein's core ideas about gravity — this time with the help of a neutron star flashing across space. The SEP has appeared to be true for a long ...

Underwater gravity-aided inertial navigation systems (GINS) combine the high-frequency, self-contained measurements from inertial sensors with geophysical gravity data to overcome the positional ...

Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm afternoon, he saw an apple fall from a tree and wondered why it should fall down ...
