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

A physics conference has received a report of the gravitational wave from the heaviest pair of black holes we’ve so far ...

Gravitational wave detectors have "heard" the ripples in space caused by the most massive black hole merger yet. One ...

Two colossal black holes among the most massive ever seen collided in deep space, creating gravitational waves that rippled ...

Using ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein, a team of researchers has detected a cosmic merger of unprecedented ...

The merger wasn’t just the biggest ever, but also an event so rare that it challenges existing models for black hole genesis.

Gravitational waves, the result of two black holes merging, have been detected by a sophisticated observatory. Scientists say that proves Einstein was right.

Gravitational waves are ripples in the space-time continuum first predicted by Albert Einstein 100 years ago. They can be produced in many ways, ...

However, in the days of the early universe, gravity-driven waves may have become very strong, giving them the ability to create light in an entirely new way.

As for generating detectable waves on Earth, a la Hertz, theoreticians long ago dismissed the possibility. “Sure, you make gravity waves every time you wave your fist,” says Rainer Weiss, ...

You create a gravitational wave by collapsing onto the sofa. However, it would be undetectable. After all, gravity is by far the weakest of the four fundamental forces of nature.
