Scientists may have "heard" the first tantalizing evidence of primordial black holes formed directly from overly dense ...

Two merging black holes, each roughly 30 times the mass of the sun, in a computer simulation. Gravitational wave observatories, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), ...

It has been three years since the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) shut down, starting a long hiatus from searching the universe for gravitational waves. Now, though, the ...

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 ...

In a single decade, we have gone from the first-ever gravitational wave detection to several hundred of them. Every time ...

Detecting gravity waves isn’t easy. But what if you had a really big detector for a long time? That’s what researchers did when they crunched 15 years’ worth of data from the NANOGrav data set. The ...

"So far we have been watching the cosmos like a silent movie, capturing the ripples of spacetime with LISA will be a real game-changer, like when sound was added to motion pictures." When you purchase ...

The 2017 Nobel prize for physics was given for the confirmation of a prediction made 101 years earlier. In 1916 Albert Einstein, whose theories of special and general relativity revolutionised ...

The 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded Tuesday morning to three pioneers of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, which announced last year the world's first direct detection ...
