Scientists review research on gravitational wave detectors as a historical example of quantum technologies and examine the fundamental research on the connection between quantum physics and gravity.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Today, a humongous team of astronomers called the NANOGrav ...

"Waves on Water" explores the dynamics of waves, including their formation, movement, and interaction with the environment. It explains how wind generates waves, how these waves travel across water, ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

In the April 1981 issue of Popular Science, we explored the many initiatives and techniques used in the exciting hunt for sensing gravity waves, then out of reach. By Bill Gourgey Published May 18, ...

The largest nuclear fusion experiment in the world, the Joint European Torus (JET), has begun a new wave of testing this month. In a statement from the UK Atomic Energy Authority, it was announced ...

When incredibly massive objects collide violently in space, they send out ripples in space-time that reverberate through the cosmos for billions of years. Long after the collisions happen, these ...

WASHINGTON, March 15, 2022 -- Quantum physical experiments exploring the motion of macroscopic or heavy bodies under gravitational forces require protection from any environmental noise and highly ...
