Chad Hanna receives funding from the National Science Foundation and NASA. After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of measuring gravitational waves – ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational ...

Researchers have designed a new type of gravitational wave detector that operates in the milli-Hertz range, a region untouched by current observatories. Built with optical resonators and atomic clocks ...

Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool for mapping the invisible, with theorists now arguing that ripples in ...

After three years of downtime for crucial upgrades, the world’s gravitational-wave observatories were supposed to restart, more sensitive than ever to the tiniest deformations in spacetime. But ...

When black holes need a place to crash, they prefer a nice, bright quasar. So says Chiara Mingarelli, an assistant professor of physics in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and a key member of an ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, first detected in 2015. But an expected corresponding low-frequency ...

Time variations of (black) zonal and (red) meridional winds along trajectories of LODEWAVE 3. Solid lines represent LODEWAVE data, while dashed lines represent PANSY radar data at an altitude of 18.5 ...

Scientists have detected the most massive merger of black holes ever. This titanic collision, "heard" in ripples in spacetime called gravitational waves, involves black holes so massive that it could ...

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 ...
