A new way to measure Earth’s gravity
The technique also could be used to measure slight gravitational variations at different places in the world, which may help in mapping the seafloor or finding oil and minerals underground.

Measuring gravity using floating atoms
New approach allows gravitational potentials to be measured by holding, rather than dropping, atoms.

When plant roots learned to follow gravity
Scentists have identified crucial components and processes which only developed in seed plants around 350 million years ago to enable fast and efficient gravity-driven root growth.

Finding the Missing Nature’s Fifth Force
There are four fundamental forces that drive the universe. They are as gravity, electromagnetic, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. But, now scientists are...
