Learn about two black hole mergers in 2024 that experts revisited with new information from gravitational waves, confirming ...

For the first time, scientists have detected two black hole mergers with spins so unusual they may reveal a new generation of ...

In January 2025, a ripple in spacetime reached Earth from more than a billion light-years away. It wasn’t light or radio ...

Three billion years ago, in a third of a second, two black holes crashed into each other and merged into a single entity, converting two solar masses into energy that shook the fabric of spacetime, ...

FROnt Surface Type Irradiator, or FROSTI, will allow future detectors to run at higher laser powers, reducing noise and expanding capabilities ...

According to new research, gravity may have been able to create light. During expansion, right after the Big Bang, gravitational waves may have built on each other to create huge standing waves of ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

Two stellar mass black holes, if they merge in the vicinity of a supermassive black hole, could have their gravitational wave signal affected by the strongly curved space around them. If Einstein's ...

In June, scientists presented compelling evidence that they discovered a massive "hum" of low-frequency gravitational waves rippling through the universe. Similar to the ripple effect that occurs when ...

You know times are finally changing in Australia, when a mining company run by the country’s second-richest person, Dr. Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest, opens a green hydrogen and renewables business. And ...

2016 held some wonderful physics moments---hello gravitational waves! Other moments were experimentally impressive, like shining a laser beam through antimatter, but don't have the same oomph as ...

Some of the most difficult (and most important) experiments in the history of physics had to do with making connections between different concepts. What about the connection between objects moving ...
