The international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration has completed the fourth observation campaign (called O4) of the ...

Black holes, regions of spacetime in which gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, are intriguing and extensively ...

In a single decade, we have gone from the first-ever gravitational wave detection to several hundred of them. Every time ...

After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of measuring gravitational waves—tiny ripples in space itself that travel through the universe. Unlike light ...

In a discovery that began generating excitement on social media before it was even announced, scientists have detected rippling gravitational waves more powerful than any identified before. The news ...

One of the most spectacular achievements in physics so far this century has been the observation of gravitational waves, ripples in space-time that result from masses accelerating in space. So far, ...

After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of measuring gravitational waves — tiny ripples in space itself that travel through the universe. Unlike light ...

Using a unique scientific facility at Hanford, scientists have opened an exciting new field of astronomy and confirmed the existence of gravitational waves in the universe first predicted by Albert ...

EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...

Decades ago physicists realized that gravitational waves are no mere passing phenomenon. Instead those ripples in space should leave behind permanent marks: a fixed distortion in their wake. So far ...

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 ...
