For much of the twentieth century, scientists expected the expanding universe to slow over time. The opposite turned out to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: We now have more than 27 years of satellite altimeter measurements of sea level change (TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, 2, and 3) and 17 years of satellite gravity measurements of mass change ...

You might expect that, all these years after Newton, we might have a good measure of his gravitational constant, G. As the authors of a new paper on the topic note, there are plenty of reasons to want ...

A project to calculate the distance between the Earth and the Moon with unprecedented accuracy will allow the most precise tests of gravity ever performed, according to the US researcher behind the ...
