Black holes crashing together may be revealing clues about dark matter hidden across the universe. Physicists created a new ...

On May 21, ground controllers powered down NASA's AWE (Atmospheric Waves Experiment) instrument, bringing the data collection phase of the mission to a successful and scheduled end, surpassing its ...

The very fabric of the universe is ringing with gravitational waves from its earliest epoch, and researchers have finally "heard" this cosmic symphony. On Thursday, June 28, the North American ...

Scientists have developed a new technique that could turn black hole collisions into cosmic detectors for dark matter, ...

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 ...

Dark matter is thought to make up most of the matter in the universe, but the only way it interacts with its surroundings is ...

There is a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, and it's not alone. There is also likely a forest of binary black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs. All of these emit ...

Gravitational waves emitted when distant black holes collide and merge, causing the very fabric of space-time to ring like a bell, could be used to help measure the rate at which the universe is ...

We are all bobbing in a sea of ripples in space-time, called gravitational waves, reverberating through the fabric of the universe, scientists announced on Wednesday. Those ripples are probably the ...

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...
