Physicists are preparing an experiment that sounds like science fiction: a device designed to snare individual particles of gravity and hold them long enough to study. If it works, this “graviton trap ...
When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of light and cause tiny distortions in space-time. Albert Einstein predicted ...
Researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology and Yale University are initiating a first-of-its-kind experiment designed to detect gravitons, the hypothesized quantum building blocks of gravity.
