Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, addressed rumors of his sexuality and confronted his past as an internet troll after announcing a run for Congress. After years ...

After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of measuring gravitational waves—tiny ripples in space itself that travel through the universe. Unlike light ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. When two massive objects – like black holes or neutron stars – merge, they warp space and time. Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library ...

The eccentricity in the orbits of these black holes, detected using gravitational waves, could tell the story of their creation. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

One of the most spectacular achievements in physics so far this century has been the observation of gravitational waves, ripples in space-time that result from masses accelerating in space. So far, ...

Last month, work began on the world’s first space-based gravitational wave detector. The European Space Agency and partner aerospace companies are developing orbiting, detector spacecraft to observe ...

Following 15 years of data collection in a galaxy-sized experiment, scientists have “heard” the perpetual chorus of gravitational waves rippling through our universe for the first time — and it’s ...

A recent preprint claims that we may someday be able to create gravitational waves in a lab. Through the use of “twisted” light, we could create powerful, high-frequency waves in a controlled setting.

University of Colorado Boulder astrophysicist Jeremy Darling is pursuing a new way of measuring the universe's gravitational wave background—the constant flow of waves that churn through the cosmos, ...

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 ...
