In a context of global change and increasing anthropic pressure on the environment,
monitoring the Earth system and its evolution has become one of the key missions of …

Advances in quantum technologies are giving rise to a revolution in the way fundamental
physics questions are explored at the empirical level. At the same time, they are the seeds …

Gravimetry is a well-established technique for the determination of sub-surface mass
distribution needed in several fields of geoscience, and various types of gravimeters have …

Over the last few decades, significant advances in using geophysical techniques to image
the structure of magma plumbing systems have enabled the identification of zones of melt …

A primary goal of volcanology is forecasting hazardous eruptive activity. Despite much
progress over the last century, however, volcanoes still erupt with no detected precursors …

We present the world's first time series acquired in the summit area of an active volcano with
an absolute atom interferometry gravimeter. The device was installed∼ 2.5 km from the …

Following the first demonstration of a levitated nanosphere cooled to the quantum ground
state in 2020 (U. Delić, et al. Science, vol. 367, p. 892, 2020), macroscopic quantum sensors …

Knowledge of the spatio-temporal changes in the characteristics and distribution of
subsurface fluids is key to properly addressing important societal issues, including …

Ascent of magma through Earth's crust is normally associated with, among other effects,
ground deformation and gravity changes. Geodesy is thus a valuable tool for monitoring and …

We report on about 20 yr of relative gravity measurements, acquired on Mt. Somma–
Vesuvius volcano in order to investigate the hydrological and volcano-tectonic processes …
