What does it take to quantify a change in distance smaller than one-ten-thousandth the size of a proton? For the LIGO, Virgo, ...

The first-ever detection of gravitational waves was made 10 years ago today (Sept. 14). In celebration, Space.com takes you ...

Scientists detect the strongest gravitational wave ever, supporting Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s black hole area law ...

Ripples in spacetime sent hurtling through the universe when two black holes smash into each other -- a phenomenon predicted ...

Chinese astronomers have spotted a hidden supermassive black hole in the background of a peculiar gravitational wave event from a black hole merger, hinting that all three singularities were locked in ...

Gravitational waves emitted after two black holes coalesced agree with theories from physicists Stephen Hawking and Roy Kerr.

The universe is humming with gravitational radiation — a very low-frequency rumble that rhythmically stretches and compresses spacetime and the matter embedded in it. That is the conclusion of several ...

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 ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) of the U.S. National Science Foundation has observed a black hole collision event GW250114, providing the clearest signal to date ...
