It is now thought that the source of this anomaly was a phase transition in which one mineral’s structure was altered.

In the pursuit of finding anomalies that did not have connection to surface changes, researchers detected one that happened ...

As they whirl around in low-Earth orbit, satellite configurations are far more sensitive to changes in Earth's gravity field ...

“It’s all about the encounter physics.” With those words, MIT Professor of Planetary Sciences Richard Binzel emphasized the record-book quality of what will happen on April 13, 2029, when asteroid ...

The answer depends on your location, your distance from the centre of Earth and any local variation in gravitational field strength due to the density of underlying rock. Crunching the numbers, the ...

PREVIOUS investigations have shown that, although sufficiently high gravity as simulated by continuous centrifugation can retard growth of certain organisms, a moderate increase in the gravitational ...

Your location in this Universe isn't just described by spatial coordinates (where), but also by a time coordinate (when). It is impossible to move from one spatial location to another without also ...

Researchers have succeeded in measuring the gravitational field of a gold sphere, just 2 mm in diameter, using a highly sensitive pendulum - and thus the smallest gravitational force. The experiment ...
