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 ...

Freefalling: the new sensor compares the acceleration due to gravity experienced by two clouds of cold atoms. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Evgenia-Fux) A quantum gravity ...

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 ...

The portable gravimeter developed by Canberra-based Nomad Atomics uses quantum sensing to precisely measure gravitation, but is little larger than a shoebox and rugged enough to cart around on ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Birmingham, England, have succeeded in an outdoor experiment of a 'quantum gravity gradient sensor (quantum gravity graviometer)' that detects fluctuations in ...

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 ...

The Pentagon's research division, DARPA, has commissioned defense contractor Lockheed Martin to develop a sensor system that can locate and identify underground targets -- with a little help from ...
