An international collaboration of astrophysicists that includes researchers from Yale has created and tested a detection system that uses gravitational waves to map out the locations of merging black ...

The sharpest black hole collision ever detected just gave Einstein another win—and raised hopes that the next one might ...

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, ...

This black hole merger animation was created using data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors, an ...

When Hurricane Helene roared into the Southeast with winds near 140 mph, the storm did more than shred roofs and flood streets. High above the chaos, the International Space Station recorded vast, ...

Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder may have solved a pressing mystery about the universe’s gravitational wave background. That’s the name for the ripples in space and time that move ...

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 ...

The discovery of gravitational waves in 2015 marked a turning point in our understanding of the universe. But detecting these faint signals was only the beginning. The real challenge lies in ...

UW-Milwaukee physics and astronomy assistant professor Lia Medeiros explains gravitational waves and the role UWM played in discovering them. It’s been just over a decade since physicists first ...

Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, addressed rumors of his sexuality and confronted his past as an internet troll after announcing a run for Congress. After years ...

Researchers have designed a new type of gravitational wave detector that operates in the milli-Hertz range, a region untouched by current observatories. Built with optical resonators and atomic clocks ...
