New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

“Gravitational waves are really, really hard to detect,” Hogan says. It took decades of work before LIGO spotted its first swells, and the same is true of the pulsar timing technique.

Einstein Was Right: Scientists Detect Gravitational Waves For The First Time : The Two-Way A U.S.-led team says it has seen waves in space-time from two black holes merging together.

The recent detection of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) came from two black holes, each about 30 times the mass of our sun, merging into one.

The detection of gravitational waves was made by the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory) facilities in Livingston, Louisiana and in Richland, Washington on 14 September 2015, at ...

Scientists for the first time have detected gravitational waves, ripples in space and time hypothesized by Albert Einstein a century ago, in a landmark discovery announced on Thursday that opens a ...

Some 130 million years ago, in a galaxy far away, the smoldering cores of two collapsed stars smashed into each other. The resulting explosion sent a burst of gamma rays streaming through space ...

And LIGO-class observatories might one day detect gravitational waves from cosmic strings created in the big bang birth of the universe. "What's really exciting is what comes next," Reitze said.

Gravitational waves, vibrations of space and time, were predicted 100 years ago. — -- If Albert Einstein was alive today, he'd be saying: "I told you so." In one of the most significant ...
