It now takes just a fraction of a minute to detect neutron star mergers, thanks to advancements in a machine-learning-driven approach to astronomy. Reading time 3 minutes A team of researchers just ...

Gravitational Waves were only first observed in 2015, captured via instruments at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory. This is going to change the way we look at physics forever, ...

LISA is set to revolutionize our understanding of the gravitational universe and the interactions that make the entire cosmos turn. Reading time 6 minutes LISA, a $1.6 billion gravitational wave ...

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 ...

An illustration of two black holes about to merge and emitting copious gravitational waves. And as the numbers of gravitational-wave observations have increased, physicists’ careful modeling is ...

Binary neutron star mergers emit gravitational waves followed by light. To fully exploit these observations and avoid missing key signals, speed is crucial. An interdisciplinary team of researchers ...

CC0 Usage Conditions ApplyClick for more information. Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity predicts that accelerated masses emit gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time. Even though ...

Scientists aim to build the first graviton detector to explore gravity's quantum nature, despite significant challenges.

Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder may have solved a pressing mystery about the universe's gravitational wave background. That's the name for the ripples in space and time that move ...

In these clips, four astronomers discuss the latest result in which NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, along with many other telescopes, detected light from a gravitational wave source for the first ...
