When it comes to understanding the fundamental forces of the universe, gravity is by far the most intuitive. It’s the force that brings us splashing down after jumping from a diving board and the ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

U.K.-based researchers have, for the first time, field tested a quantum gravity surveying instrument that could potentially produce Google-type maps of the subsurface. By eliminating the "noise" of ...

To find features like groundwater under Earth's surface — or under the surface of another world — scientists can sense the subtle marks those features leave in the planet's gravitational field. But ...

Professor Nobuyuki Matsumoto has led a team of researchers to develop a gravity sensor based on monitoring the displacement of a suspended mirror, which allows for measuring the gravity of the ...

A gravity sensor is not the kind of equipment that comes to mind when you think of treasure hunting. But this one might just be the best treasure-hunting gear out there-if you can get one for yourself ...
