Extreme cosmic events such as colliding black holes or the explosions of stars can cause ripples in spacetime, so-called gravitational waves. Their discovery opened a new window into the universe. To ...

In the not too distant future ... recorded the moment the gravitational waves passed through Earth's part of space at the same time. The twin "L"-shaped observatories both have a laser that ...

Gravitational waves ... will be the first space-based observatory specifically designed to detect these waves, marking a major advancement in astrophysics. The unveiling of the Engineering ...

As gravitational waves ripple out through the cosmos, they warp the fabric of space and time, so they don't just change the arms of the observatories, they change all of the other matter ...

Powerful events, like colliding black holes, produce waves in space-time ... if we can figure out how to detect it. A few gravitational wave observatories have been built—none has yet detected ...

Can scientists build a detector of near-Earth objects that would sense gravitational waves produced by any "dark" objects ...

Exail’s source is due to be deployed in the ground station element of the complex mission, which is currently expected to launch in 2037 and will represent the first ever gravitational wave ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves. New research shows ...

This effect refers to a permanent shift in the fabric of the universe caused by the passage of space-time ripples known as gravitational waves. Although these waves have already been detected by ...

The waves are ... neutron stars in space that emit radio waves – with the specific goal of detecting gravitational waves. The telescopes include, the Effelsberg Radio Telescope in Germany, the Lovell ...

In a paper published earlier this month in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists led by Jonathan Richardson of the University of California, Riverside, showcases how new optical technology can ...
