Breakthrough in quantum gravity moves scientists towards cosmic mysteries Southampton UK (SPX) Mar 11, 2024 Scientists are a step closer to unravelling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level. Experts have never fully understood how the force which was discovered by Isaac Newton works in the tiny quantum world. Even Einstein was baffled by quantum gravity and, in his theory of general relativity, said there is no realistic experiment which could show a quantum version of gravity. But now physicists at the University of Southampton ... read more |

Scientists observe the influence of gravity on antimatter for the first time Manchester UK (SPX) Oct 01, 2023 Scientists have demonstrated the existence of gravity between antimatter and Earth, reaffirming Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. It is thought that Isaac Newton's historic work ... more Greenbelt MD (SPX) Sep 22, 2023 Astronomers using simulated data have produced a glimpse of the sky as it would appear in gravitational waves, cosmic ripples in space-time generated by orbiting objects. The image shows how space-b ... more Boston MA (SPX) Sep 04, 2023 The search for space-shaking ripples in the universe just got a big boost. An MIT-led effort to build a bigger, better gravitational-wave detector will receive $9 million dollars over the next three ... more Lubbock, TX (SPX) Aug 22, 2023 Scientists spectacularly confirmed the existence of gravitational waves several years ago, but now they are searching the cosmos for new and different types of these waves that result from different ... more Berkeley CA (SPX) Aug 09, 2023 The universe is humming with gravitational radiation - a very low-frequency rumble that rhythmically stretches and compresses spacetime and the matter embedded in it. That is the conclusion of ... more |
In for a spin Paris (ESA) Aug 04, 2023 ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen outside the Air Force Research Laboratory's centrifuge at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, USA. Before launching to the International Space Station for his Huginn mission later this month, Andreas felt the g-forces that await him on his ride into low Earth orbit. In preparation for their space missions, astronauts undergo centrifuge training sessions to train their bodies to withstand the high levels of acceleration, or g-forces, experienced during asce ... read more Baltimore MD (SPX) Aug 04, 2023 A new image of the galaxy cluster known as "El Gordo" is revealing distant and dusty objects never seen before, and providing a bounty of fresh science. The infrared image, taken by NASA's James Web ... more |
