Australian physicist builds optical sensor to chart underground gravity shifts
3+ week, 1+ day ago (287+ words) The principle traces back to gravitational lensing. Celestial bodies famously bend the path of passing light. Li adapted this effect to work at a human scale using laser beams and fiber optic loops. This gravito-optic effect allows researchers to observe…...

Beneath Western Australia, a billion year old iron deposit is rewriting geological history
2+ mon, 5+ hour ago (241+ words) Hamersley has supplied iron ore to global industry for decades. Geologists long assumed its richest formations dated back roughly 2. 2 billion years. Recent uranium-lead isotopic analysis overturned that assumption. The formations are between 1. 4 and 1. 1 billion years old, nearly a billion years…...
