Latest about gravitational waves
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.
One of the most extreme black hole collisions in the universe just proved Einstein right
A monster merger between two black holes sent ripples through time and space, and may prove Einstein right about a gravitational phenomenon called precession.
Colliding black holes could clock universe's expansion rate
New research suggests that the expansion of the universe could be measured using colliding black holes as 'spectral sirens.'
Unusual 'revived' pulsars could be the ultimate gravitational wave detector
Astronomers hope to use pulsars scattered around the galaxy as a giant gravitational wave detector. But why do we need them, and how do they work?
