In June, scientists presented compelling evidence that they discovered a massive "hum" of low-frequency gravitational waves rippling through the universe. Similar to the ripple effect that occurs when ...

So far, astrophysicists have only detected gravitational waves from binary systems — the mergers of either two black holes, two neutron stars or one of each. Although astrophysicists theoretically ...

Until now, we’ve only detected gravitational waves originating in binary systems, from the merger of black holes or neutron stars. But researchers from Northwestern University have potentially ...

On Sept. 14, waves of energy traveling for more than a billion years gently rattled space-time in the vicinity of Earth. The disturbance, produced by a pair of merging black holes, was captured by the ...

On Earth, a visible ripple effect occurs when a stone is thrown into the water. In space, a similar phenomenon happens. However, instead of creating waves that can be seen by the human eye or optical ...

"This is a big potential problem because many signals are quite similar." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Scientists are still ...

Energy-momentum distribution remains a fundamental yet challenging aspect of theoretical physics. In general relativity, the localisation of gravitational energy is obscured by the equivalence ...

Although astrophysicists theoretically should be able to detect gravitational waves from a single, non-binary source, they have yet to uncover these elusive signals. Now researchers suggest looking at ...

As a jet escapes from a collapsed star, it punches into a cocoon of stellar debris. CREDIT Ore Gottlieb/CIERA/Northwestern University So far, astrophysicists have ...

New simulations suggest, for the first time, that cocoons of debris around dying stars likely emit gravitational waves Cocoons form as a massive star sheds debris while collapsing into a black hole ...

(Nanowerk News) So far, astrophysicists have only detected gravitational waves from binary systems — the mergers of either two black holes, two neutron stars or one of each. Although astrophysicists ...
