The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors ...

Scientists in Wales have built the world’s most sensitive table-top interferometer, which is a miniature, ultra-precise ...

More than 100 years since they were first theorised by Albert Einstein — and two years since they were first detected here on Earth — the study of gravitational waves has been awarded a Nobel Prize.

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 zero.

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 ...

Did you know that moving a clock one inch toward the ground would result in a slower tick compared to the same clock positioned higher up? Gravity doesn't just pull things; it also bends time.

Even teeny objects obey the law of gravity. A gold ball just 2 millimeters wide, with a mass of about 90 milligrams, is now the smallest object to have its gravitational pull measured. Observations of ...
