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 ...

Researchers from the University of Glasgow teamed up with the culture and research organisation Science Ceilidh to develop a dance to mark the 10th anniversary of the historic first detection of ...

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

Last week it was revealed that gravitational waves had been spotted for the first time. There’s only one problem – we don’t know exactly where they came from. What we do know is that this ...

With LISA, ESA plans to catch gravitational waves from space, using a triangle of spacecraft millions of kilometers apart—unlocking cosmic secrets we’ve never seen.

Black holes, once purely theoretical, are now observable phenomena, offering insights into the universe. Their intense ...

Only a few dozen of these short-lived binaries exist in the galaxy at a time, making the serendipitous find extremely ...

For decades, scientists have believed there should be black holes that fall between two well-known types. On one end are stellar-mass black holes, formed by collapsing stars, with masses between 5 ...

As summer heats up, millions of Americans flock to beaches for relief, but a serious warning is currently echoing across four ...
