As they fall, however, their effect on the gravitational field at the Earth’s surface decreases. But surrounding these areas are even weaker, unexplained dents in the field.

The Indian Ocean "gravity hole" is a region where Earth's mass is reduced, leading to weak gravitational pull, lower-than-average sea levels and a puzzle scientists have only just begun to solve.

Data from observations of the Earth's gravitational field -- e.g. collected using special satellite missions -- must, therefore, be adjusted to account for atmospheric influences.

Now, for the first time, IBM researchers have observed a gravitational anomaly in earthly materials, which was previously only thought to occur in QGP in deep space or just after the Big Bang.

Scientists propose a groundbreaking experiment using quantum computers and atomic clocks to test whether gravity alters the ...

The recent study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Physics Review Letters, suggests that the magnetospheres of Earth and Jupiter could be key in converting gravitational waves into ...

Newton’s gravitational constant works pretty well when describing big things on Earth or in space that we can see with the naked eye, but as scientists in the 20th and 21st century began to ...

Gravitational field strength (g) is measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg). The Earth's gravitational field strength is 9.8 N/kg.

All matter has a gravitational field that attracts other objects. The more mass an object has, the greater its gravitational field will be. For example, the Earth has a greater gravitational field ...

It's the most depressing day of the year. So it should come as no surprise for you to learn, then, that the Earth may be being weighed down by dark matter. Bummer, man. Ben Harris–a GSP ...
