Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool ...

In just a decade, gravitational wave observatories have changed astronomy. In this short time, we have accumulated hundreds ...

When black holes collide, the impact radiates into space like the sound of a bell in the form of gravitational waves. But ...

A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...

Gravitational waves from black holes may soon reveal where dark matter is hiding. A new model shows how dark matter surrounding massive black holes leaves detectable fingerprints in the waves recorded ...

After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of measuring gravitational waves—tiny ripples in space itself that travel through the universe. Unlike light ...

A research team led by Caltech may have just discovered the first-ever superkilonova, a cosmic phenomenon in which a star ...

In a discovery that began generating excitement on social media before it was even announced, scientists have detected rippling gravitational waves more powerful than any identified before. The news ...

Could gravitational waves be used someday to probe distant matter in the universe? Through a theoretical physics calculation, researchers from Case Western Reserve University suggest that they could.

A massive star may have burst, leaving behind two dense, dead cores, which then collided and caused another explosion ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space. Waves that originated in the early universe could carry important information about the phenomena that occurred there. When you purchase through ...

A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...
