Latest about gravitational waves
Curious cosmic coincidence could help explain fast radio burst mystery
Two mysterious cosmic phenomena appeared in the same patch of sky nearly at once, and it may not be a coincidence.
What are gravitational waves?
Reference Gravitational waves are tiny ripples in the fabric of time and space that are created by some of the universe's most powerful events such as colliding black holes.
Faint gravitational waves may be from primordial fractures in space-time
The early universe may have been such a violent place that space-time itself fractured like a pane of glass, releasing gravitational waves that astronomers say we may have already detected.
Colliding black holes 'ring' across space-time with gravitational wave ripples
A new model suggests how gravitational waves created by the collision between black holes spread and interact within the fabric of space-time.
Astronomers poised to hunt new kind of gravitational wave
The gravitational waves would be weak, but potentially detectable by the next joint observing run of the world's gravitational-wave detectors.
Astronomers can't wait to search for signs of life and massive black-hole mergers
From black holes to the search for life, scientific breakthroughs are on the horizon as new observatories come online.
How gravitational waves can 'see inside' black holes
What lurks at the center of a black hole? Studying the space-time ripples from black hole collisions could reveal an answer.
A new approach might help scientists see inside a neutron star
Astrophysicists tested a potential approach to determining the state of the matter inside a neutron star, a tricky feat.
