This black hole merger animation was created using data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors, an ...

In a new Physical Review Letters study, researchers have successfully followed a gravitational wave's complete journey from ...

A study published in Nature has established a new benchmark in modeling the universe's most extreme events: the collisions of black holes and neutron stars. This research, led by Professor Jan Plefka ...

After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of measuring gravitational waves — tiny ... color and sound to a black-and-white silent film and can ...

This is only the second pair of black holes orbiting each other ahead of merging that researchers have found. Study of the gravitational waves created by the space event will help scientists learn ...

Scientists have discovered gravitational waves stemming from a black hole merger event that suggest the resultant black hole settled into a stable, spherical shape. These waves also reveal the ...

WASHINGTON -- The voice of a black hole is a deep, deep bass, 57 octaves below middle C and far beyond the hearing range of humans. The Chandra X-ray Observatory has picked up sound waves for the ...

The current generation of gravitational wave detectors could "hear" the explosive supernova collapse of dying stars over 65 million light years away. New research suggests that this current ...
