Greenland is cold and hot. It’s a deep freezer storing 10 percent of Earth’s ice and a subject of fevered debate. If something should melt all that ice, global sea level could rise as much as 7 meters ...

Gravity measurements have evolved into a pivotal tool for probing Earth’s internal processes and environmental changes. Through highly precise instruments and innovative data analysis, researchers can ...

What is the impact of climate change on the ice-covered regions of Earth? How does deglaciation affect global sea level changes? These questions are being addressed by scientists from Germany and ...

Want to make ultra-precise measurements of the strength of gravity? There is an app for that — or at least a quantum device called the “gravimeter,” which functions as a scaled-down version of the ...

An artist's impression of the quantum experiment. (Courtesy: University of Southampton) The first technique capable of measuring the pull of gravity on a particle just microns in diameter could aid ...

Physicists in the US have devised a new way of making very precise measurements of gravity by bouncing atoms up and down off a laser beam. Unlike comparable techniques that involve dropping atoms ...
