In 2007, something strange happened over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. According to satellites orbiting Earth, our planet's gravity field developed a continent-scale anomaly before subsiding to ...
Infleqtion, a Boulder-based quantum-technology company, said this week that it “will fly the first quantum sensor capable of measuring the Earth's gravitational field and its gradients” as part of ...
started rising. As the ground rebounded in this fashion, the gravity field changed. “The Earth behaved much like putting your finger into a sponge ball and watching it slowly bounce back,” said ...
Thanks to Newton, we all know that what comes up must come down. But did you know that what comes down comes down with just slightly less pressure if you're standing in Europe or the South Pacific? We ...
