In 2015, a piece of equipment at an observatory in the US moved one quintillionth (10-18) of a meter. This tiny movement was ...

In a new Physical Review Letters study, researchers have successfully followed a gravitational wave's complete journey from ...

Jeremy Darling’s novel approach applies astrometry to detect the gravitational wave background, offering new insights into the early universe and large-scale cosmic events.

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space. Waves that originated in the early universe could carry important information about the phenomena that occurred there. When you purchase ...

You might not have noticed, but scientists did: three gravitational wave observatories strategically located around the planet — observatories which do not resemble traditional optical ...

This low-frequency background hum of gravitational waves in our universe was originally attributed to a change, or a "phase transition," that occurred shortly after the Big Bang. New research ...

Scientists say they are starting to find signs of an elusive type of rumbling through space that could be created by the biggest, baddest black holes in the universe. The discovery means that ...

When astronomers detected the first long-predicted gravitational waves in 2015, it opened a whole new window into the universe. Before that, astronomy depended on observations of light in all its ...

Here’s how it works. Gravitational waves are tiny ripples in the very fabric of spacetime that propagate outwards from some of the most violent and powerful events in the cosmos. Traveling ...
