The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015 ...

Calculations suggest stars that are very viscous could reflect gravitational waves and produce signals very similar to those produced by black holes ...

A team of scientists has proposed a groundbreaking new theory on the Universe's origins, offering a fresh, radical take on ...

The binary black holes in the universe are already astonishing enough, but researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical ...

Could it be that the universe’s first structures were born not from enigmatic inflaton fields, but from the echoes of ancient gravitational waves? In a shocking shift from the conventional picture of ...

Low-frequency longwave gravitational waves also have long "periods," which refers to the time between one peak of the wave passing a set point to the next peak passing that point.

As gravitational waves can also take varying paths past a gravitational lens, they should also display a similar arrival time delay, meaning that gravitational wave detectors could, in theory ...

But gravitational waves were not detected definitively until 2015, at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) — two facilities located in Washington state and Louisiana ...

The first waves detected, spotted in data collected on September 14, 2015 were the result of two black holes 36 and 29 times the mass of our sun merging. The second set of gravitational waves were ...

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 ...

If the gravitational wave background detected last year came from a "supercool" phase transition around the time of the Big Bang, they hint at new physics.
