The dream of finding life on an alien Earth-like world is hampered by a number of technical challenges. Not the least of ...

Move over, Einstein, an AI named Urania is outsmarting scientists by inventing radical new detectors, promising to transform our hunt for the universe’s most elusive ripples. Research: Digital ...

Extreme cosmic events such as colliding black holes or the explosions of stars can cause ripples in spacetime, so-called ...

Richardson, who earned his bachelor’s degree in Space Physics from Embry‑Riddle in 2021, started the research as an undergraduate student under the guidance of Michele Zanolin, a professor in the ...

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

So, what exactly is a gravity wave? As the National Weather Service explains, air can move in one of two ways – straight or in a wave. The waves themselves can either be vertical or horizontal.

But perhaps the biggest triumph of general relativity came in 2015, with the discovery of gravitational waves – ripples in space-time caused by the movement of very massive objects. The signal ...
