Scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology anticipate ushering in the era of gravitational wave astronomy within the decade as part of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or ...

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 ...

Gravitational waves are caused by cosmic events like colliding black holes or neutron stars, explosive supernovas and even the birth of the universe. The waves travel across the universe at the speed ...

Scientists are exploring groundbreaking methods to harness Earth and Jupiter as vast observatories for detecting gravitational waves, potentially unveiling cosmic secrets from the dawn of the universe ...

Researchers co-led a study that will improve the detection of gravitational waves--ripples in space and time. Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. When two massive objects – like black holes or neutron stars – merge, they warp space and time. Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library ...

The 2017 Nobel prize for physics was given for the confirmation of a prediction made 101 years earlier. In 1916 Albert Einstein, whose theories of special and general relativity revolutionised ...

A new window into the nature of the universe may be possible with a device proposed by scientists at the University of Nevada, Reno, and Stanford University that would detect elusive gravity waves ...

Space-based gravitational wave detection hinges on the precise free-fall of test masses within an interferometric framework. These free-falling cubes, typically composed of gold‐platinum alloys, are ...

A decades-old idea is quietly regaining attention in theoretical physics: ancient structures embedded in the universe’s fabric could reshape current understanding of time. Long dismissed as fringe ...

Is General Relativity the correct theory of gravitation? Can gravity be used to detect new fundamental fields? A recent Letter appearing today in Nature Astronomy, authored by a researcher of the GSSI ...
