What’s new — As it turns out, all they needed to do was build, what the researchers are calling, the tiniest ever laboratory-created gravitational field.

How exactly did the universe start and how did these processes determine its formation and evolution? This is what a study ...

The weak, strong and electromagnetic interactions have been unified in the standard model of physics, but the gravitational force cannot be integrated into that model.

Bringing gravity into the fold has been the goal of generations of physicists, who have struggled to reconcile the incompatibility of two cornerstones of modern physics: quantum field theory and ...

Within this field, quantum fluctuations in space-time – that is, gravitational waves – can be generated by a type of turbulence called tensor perturbations.

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never ...

In a recent study, a team of physicists from the University of Amsterdam and Harvard University has proposed a way where gravitational waves could be used to search for ultralight bosons around ...

Hairy merger: artist’s impression of two black holes in-spiralling towards collision. (Courtesy: NASA) Black holes may defy the famous “no-hair” theorem by leaking residual gravitational ripples that ...

In quantum mechanics, charged particles like electrons can be sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic fields, even when placed in a region where both the electric and the magnetic fields are ...

Perhaps the best way to understand the electric field is to look at another field—the gravitational field. Suppose you have two objects, an apple and similarly sized (but much heavier) rock.
