NASA Prepares to Launch First Quantum Sensor for Measuring Gravity from Orbit
NASA, in collaboration with academia and private companies, is developing the first quantum sensor to map Earth’s gravity from space. Using cold rubidium atoms, the compact instrument will deliver highly sensitive, long-term measurements. This mission could transform how we study Earth’s subsurface and explore planetary bodies across the solar ...

India-UK Team Proposes Experiment to Test Quantum Behaviour of Gravity with Diamond Crystals
An India-UK physics team led by Professor Sougato Bose from UCL has proposed a ground-breaking experiment to determine if gravity follows quantum mechanics, like other fundamental forces. Using a table-top setup, they aim to measure gravitational interactions between two nanodiamonds. The study, requiring cutting-edge technology, could take 10-15 y...

Dwarf Planet Ceres Once Hosted a Muddy Ocean Below Its Icy Surface
Recent research indicates that Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, likely harboured a muddy ocean beneath its icy crust. Advanced computer simulations suggest that its surface features and gravity measurements point to a past rich in ice. With its proximity to Earth, Ceres presents a promising target for further exploration, making it t...

Gravity Signals To Rapidly Measure Magnitude Of Big Earthquakes
Scientists have developed a new gravity-based approach to quickly estimate the magnitude of very large earthquakes.

New Way To Measure Gravity Can Spot Alien Life
In a bid to determine whether distant stars with planets orbiting them can harbour life, a global team of astronomers has discovered a new way to measure the pull of gravity at the surface of distant stars.

New Way to Measure Gravity Can Spot Alien Life
If you find a planet around a star that you think is Sun-like but is actually a giant, you may have fooled yourself into thinking you've found a habitable Earth-sized world.
