Scientists are using pulsars to detect the gravitational wave 'hum' created from supermassive black hole mergers. Credit: National Science Foundation (NSF) ...

The proposed next generation of gravitational wave detectors will require hundreds of kilometers of ultrahigh vacuum beam ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection ...

Gravitational waves are a completely different kind of cosmic probe, with the potential of yielding even more dramatic consequences. Light can be blocked. An opaque material, like a window shade ...

Gravitational waves distort the fabric of space-time. How? Gravity is geometry, explains Dr Karl. Last time, I talked about how in September 2015, a series of eight gravitational waves (caused by ...

In 2016, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo collaborations announced the first detections of the subtle waves, which stretch and squeeze the fabric of the ...

Think of gravity waves as waves moving through stable air. When you look at waves in the ocean, there are high parts and low parts to that wave. Clouds need lift to materialize in the atmosphere.

Gravity waves are a type of cloud pattern that have little to do with gravity and more to do with the waves. Think of a rock being thrown in a lake or pond and the ripples it creates. As the ...

Gravity waves have to involve a trigger. Whether it’s a mountain range or a thunderstorm updraft. It’s key that the air rises in a stable environment, ...
