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 ...

MAKING WAVES: The Jason defense science advisory panel has dismissed the notion that high-frequency gravitational waves (HFGW) could pose a national security threat. The group of experts was asked to ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

"What we're seeing hints at a much more dynamic and active universe than we anticipated." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The ...

After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of measuring gravitational waves—tiny ripples in space itself that travel through the universe. Unlike light ...

The very fabric of the universe is ringing with gravitational waves from its earliest epoch, and researchers have finally "heard" this cosmic symphony. On Thursday, June 28, the North American ...

Solar eclipses don’t just look cool – they can send gravity waves rippling through Earth’s atmosphere like dropping a stone in a pond. An international team of students has measured these gravity ...

EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...

You can't see or feel it, but everything around you — including your own body — is slowly shrinking and expanding. It's the weird, spacetime-warping effect of gravitational waves passing through our ...

In about 11 years, one of humankind’s most ambitious missions is set to launch into space. Decades in the making, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, or LISA, could revolutionize our understanding ...

Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely forged by earlier smash-ups fused into a 225-solar-mass titan, GW231123. The ...

In 2015, a piece of equipment at an observatory in the US moved one quintillionth (10-18) of a meter. This tiny movement was the first recorded event of gravitational waves. And it helped confirm ...
