The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

Although Earth is approximately spherical, its gravity field doesn't adhere to the same geometry. In visualizations, it more closely resembles a potato, with bumps and divots. One of the strongest of ...

Scientists have finally explained the Indian Ocean Geoid Low, a massive gravity anomaly south of India. New research reveals this 'gravity hole' formed over millions of years due to hot, less dense ...

Gravity seems constant but it turns out, Earth is weirder than that. Gravity actually wobbles a bit across the planet. And ...

Origins of ‘gravity hole’ over Antarctica finally unveiled - Researchers found that shifting gravity patterns may have ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...

Gravity used to be the most dependable rule in the cosmic rulebook, the quiet background force that never changed its mind.

In other instances, cyclists may find themselves pedaling hard to progress down an obvious slope, as if gravity is pushing them in the opposite direction. The rest of this article is behind a paywall.

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

Scientists are a step closer to unraveling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level. Experts have never fully understood how the force that ...
