A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever ...

L ast month, work began on the world’s first space-based gravitational wave detector. The European Space Agency and partner ...

In 2015, a new kind of telescope, a detector called Ligo, was turned on, not looking for light waves but for gravitational waves, which are invisible “ripples” in space and time.Again nature ...

Our galaxy may reside in a billion-light-year-wide cosmic bubble that accelerates local expansion, potentially settling the ...

The alternating light and dark bands confirmed that light can interfere with itself—something only waves do. This changed the way scientists think about particles like electrons and atoms.

Astronomers have just solved a long-standing mystery about a rare, rapidly spinning neutron star known as PSR J1023+0038.

Astronomy The 'sound of the Big Bang' hints that Earth may sit in a cosmic void 2 billion light-years wide. ... triggering the launch of gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time.

Researchers stabilize photon interference in optical chips using topological wave propagation. Jun 21, 2024. ... Novel light flashes localized at singular space-time points have been observed, ...

Astronomers have detected the signal of a colossal black hole in deep space that likely formed when two already-large black ...

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as ...

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space.
