University of Southampton scientists detected gravitational pull on tiny particles using levitating magnets, advancing the search for quantum gravity theory.
Scientists at the University of Southampton have successfully detected a weak gravitational pull on a tiny particle, using a new technique that could lead to the discovery of quantum gravity theory. The experiment, published in Science Advances, used levitating magnets to detect gravity on microscopic particles, smaller than atoms. Quantum gravity theory attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity, and could help solve major cosmic mysteries.
