Prof. Ralf Schützhold at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has devised an experiment that allows for not only the ...

Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool ...

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

Physicists are no longer content to simply listen to ripples in spacetime. A new proposal sketches out how an exquisitely ...

The study of gravitational dynamics interweaves the classical and quantum realisations of gravity, employing both traditional methods and modern amplitude techniques. At its core, the subject ...

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 ...

The long-range influence of gravity, despite its comparative weakness, stems from its inverse-square law, where its flux remains constant over arbitrary distances due to the compensatory increase in ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to develop a quantum theory of gravity. But what if gravity — and space-time — are fundamentally classical? Most physicists expect that when we zoom in on the ...
