In a new Physical Review Letters study, researchers have successfully followed a gravitational wave's complete journey from the infinite past to the infinite future as it encounters a black hole.

Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder may have solved a pressing mystery about the universe's gravitational wave ...

Physicists have been exploring the theoretical possibility of spaceships driven by compressing the four-dimensional spacetime for decades. Although this so-called 'warp drive' originates from the ...

Cocoons of debris around dying stars could shake ripples in spacetime unlike any astronomers have ever seen. “This is a potential source of gravitational waves that has never been investigated before, ...

Rosie is a freelance writer living in London. She has covered everything from ancient Egyptian temples to exciting medical breakthroughs, but she particularly enjoys writing about wildlife, ...

When two sufficiently massive objects collide — such as when two black holes merge — the forces can actually bend space-time, creating ripples called gravitational waves. These gravitational waves can ...

It now takes just a fraction of a minute to detect neutron star mergers, thanks to advancements in a machine-learning-driven approach to astronomy. Reading time 3 minutes A team of researchers just ...

A new simulation by NASA astronomers provides a unique perspective of the cosmos through the lens of gravitational waves, which are elusive ripples in the fabric of space-time generated by orbiting ...

Space-based gravitational wave detection hinges on the precise free-fall of test masses within an interferometric framework. These free-falling cubes, typically composed of gold‐platinum alloys, are ...

There’s a big debate in cosmology about how fast the universe is currently expanding. The collision of two neutron stars in 2017, seen in an artist's rendering, created both gravitational waves and ...

Observations of gravitational waves from merging black holes may unveil the true nature of dark matter, according to new research. The announcement last week of the discovery of the gravitational wave ...

Time variations of (black) zonal and (red) meridional winds along trajectories of LODEWAVE 3. Solid lines represent LODEWAVE data, while dashed lines represent PANSY radar data at an altitude of 18.5 ...
