Ten years after scientists first detected gravitational waves emerging from two colliding black holes, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA ...

On January 14, 2025, a gravitational wave dubbed GW250114 reached Earth. Like its predecessor, GW150914, it came from a pair ...

Black holes have traditionally been viewed as powerful and destructive forces in the cosmos, capable of consuming anything that ventures too close into their gravitational pull. Yet, a ground-breaking ...

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

The researchers employed a specific theoretical framework related to string theory to calculate the changes in these vibrations as black holes approach their 'limits.' The results indicate that as ...

Einstein’s theory of special relativity tells us that for a moving object, time passes more slowly than for a stationary ...

In a landmark achievement, astronomers have noticed light bending in an unexpected manner, one that doesn’t align with the predictions made by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This ...

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

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made ...

We suggest ball lightning does not fall because of the gravitational force experienced by ball lightning. We show that this ...

Celebrating 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves coming from colliding black holes, LIGO has confirmed ...
