The results of a comprehensive search for a background of ultra-low frequency gravitational waves has been announced by an international team of astronomers. The results of a comprehensive search for ...

Decades ago physicists realized that gravitational waves are no mere passing phenomenon. Instead those ripples in space should leave behind permanent marks: a fixed distortion in their wake. So far ...

In February 2016, Gravitational Waves (GWs) were detected for the first time in history. This discovery confirmed a prediction made by Albert Einstein over a century ago and triggered a revolution in ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, first detected in 2015. But an expected corresponding low-frequency ...

Could gravitational waves be used someday to probe distant matter in the universe? Through a theoretical physics calculation, researchers from Case Western Reserve University suggest that they could.

The earliest and most momentous epoch in the history of the universe released a flood of gravitational waves, tiny ripples in the fabric of space-time. Now, new research shows how future detections of ...

Astronomers are getting closer to finding sources of continuous gravitational waves, thanks to observations of Scorpius X-2, a neutron star accreting matter from a low-mass binary companion. So far, ...

NEW YORK & STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scientists at Applied Physics, an independent group of scientists and engineers who advise companies and governments on science and technology for both ...

After three years of downtime for crucial upgrades, the world’s gravitational-wave observatories were supposed to restart, more sensitive than ever to the tiniest deformations in spacetime. But ...
