A mathematical investigation of galactic data suggests elusive dark matter is confined to the rules of gravity.

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

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 ...

In a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration reports on the ...

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 ...

Albert Einstein theorized that as heavy objects move through space and time, they create ripple effects in the fabric of our universe. Now an international team of scientists have detected new ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space. Waves that originated in the early universe could carry important information about the phenomena that occurred there. When you purchase through ...

What lurks at the center of a black hole? Studying the space-time ripples from black hole collisions could reveal an answer. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Scientists have observed for the first time the faint ripples caused by the motion of black holes that are gently stretching and squeezing everything in the universe. They reported Wednesday that they ...

Scientists are using pulsars to detect the gravitational wave 'hum' created from supermassive black hole mergers. Credit: ...

The fabric of the universe is constantly rippling, according to astronomers who have discovered a background buzz of gravitational waves. These waves may be produced by supermassive black holes ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is dedicated to detecting gravitational waves scattered across the universe in ancient cosmic events. Science correspondent Nell ...
