In 1971, Stephen Hawking theorized that a black hole's event horizon can never shrink. Recently, LIGO confirmed this by ...

What does it take to quantify a change in distance smaller than one-ten-thousandth the size of a proton? For the LIGO, Virgo, ...

Gravitational-wave astronomy has exploded since 2015, capturing hundreds of black hole and neutron star collisions. With ever ...

The researchers extended existing theoretical models to account for quantum fluctuations and applied these models to flowing condensates, discovering stable density and velocity fluctuation patterns ...

The study showed that different theoretical models significantly affect the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of black holes and provide various mechanisms for generating QPOs. In one model, the ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a ...

A decade ago, scientists first detected ripples in the fabric of space-time, called gravitational waves, from the collision ...

The latest breakthrough announced today, which tests an idea put forth by Stephen Hawking in 1971, would not have been ...

"GW250114 is the loudest gravitational wave event we have detected to date; it was like a whisper becoming a shout." ...

LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA celebrate the anniversary of the first gravitational waves detection and announce verification of ...

Understanding the universe's building blocks, the Standard Model categorizes particles and explains forces, yet leaves ...
