Scientists have unveiled a new approach to detecting gravitational waves in the milli-Hertz frequency range, providing access to astrophysical and cosmological phenomena that are not detectable with ...

In a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration reports on the ...

Researchers co-led a study that will improve the detection of gravitational waves--ripples in space and time. Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering ...

When two massive objects – like black holes or neutron stars – merge, they warp space and time. Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library Scientists first detected ripples in space known as gravitational ...

In the 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves, we have detected hundreds of these waves produced by the ...

The 2017 Nobel prize for physics was given for the confirmation of a prediction made 101 years earlier. In 1916 Albert Einstein, whose theories of special and general relativity revolutionised ...

Sept. 14, 2015, was one of the most important days in science history. It marked the first-ever detection of gravitational waves, tiny ripples in space-time (the four-dimensional union of space and ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: In May of 2019, a short-duration binary black hole (BBH) merger contained no evidence of the inspiral signal typical of these kinds of a ...

The LIGO/VIRGO/KAGRA collaboration searches the universe for gravitational waves produced by the mergers of black holes and neutron stars. It has now announced the detection of a signal indicating a ...
