Disclaimer: I am very much a physics noob. This might be a nonsensical question. That spacetime can be curved or warped is something I can grasp, but I keep getting stuck on one specific aspect of how ...

For years, physicists have worked towards the ability to directly measure Berry curvature. Often discussed as a “holy grail,” this observation has seemed impossible to make until now. Berry curvature ...

Heavy duty: Ultracold atoms could soon be making gravity anomaly maps like this one of Australia. (Courtesy: Australia Geoscience) The curvature of a gravitational field across a distance of about 1 m ...

In 1797, English scientist Henry Cavendish measured the strength of gravity with a contraption made of lead spheres, wooden rods and wire. In the 21st century, scientists are doing something very ...

In a dual set of papers published in Science last week, an international group of researchers presented an experiment which used relativistic time dilation to measure the curvature of spacetime. The ...
