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 ...

A remarkably clean gravitational-wave detection has confirmed long-standing predictions about black holes, including ...

LISA is the major ESA scientific mission that will observe the Universe by detecting the gravitational waves that traverse it ...

Scientists may have "heard" the first tantalizing evidence of primordial black holes formed directly from overly dense pockets of matter just after the Big Bang.

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 ...

Update, 10:50 a.m.: For the first time, scientists have observed ripples in the fabric of space and time, called gravitation waves, confirming a major prediction of Albert Einstein's 1915 general ...

The 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded Tuesday morning to three pioneers of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, which announced last year the world's first direct detection ...

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 ...

For the first time, scientists detected gravitational waves caused by mergers between black holes and neutron stars. Researchers from LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA detected the two gravitational wave ...

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 ...

Astronomers have found the strongest evidence yet for a predicted-yet-undetected class of gravitational waves created by supermassive black holes in the cores of galaxies. And they think they could ...
