The weak gravitational pull on a particle just half the mass of a grain of sand has been measured for the first time. This most precise measurement of its kind is a breakthrough towards the quantum ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

The supertankers TI Europe and TI Oceania are two of the largest free-moving objects made by man, how does gravitation affect them? Each ship has a total mass of \(5\times {10^8}kg\) and they could ...

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 come ...

New study proposes using atomic clocks to probe the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity in spacetime.

Physicist Markus Aspelmeyer vividly remembers the day, nearly a decade ago, that a visitor to his lab declared the gravitational pull of his office chair too weak to measure. Measurable or not, this ...

In the Star Wars films, Obi-Wan Kenobi describes ‘The Force’ as “an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.” If that sounds exotic, ...

NEW YORK & STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scientists at Applied Physics, an independent group of scientists and engineers who advise companies and governments on science and technology for both ...
