gravitational waves

There is a spacetime warping effect of gravitational waves passing through our galaxy, says researchers with the U.S. National Science Foundation's NANOGrav Physics Frontiers Center. Their findings were published in The Astrophysical…

Quantum physical experiments exploring heavy bodies under gravitational force requires protection from environmental noise and the use of highly efficient sensing. In a recent paper, researchers from Hamburg University in Germany review…

The detection of ultra-low frequency gravitational waves is delivering insights into the development of the universe, according to researchers at the University of Birmingham. Gravitational waves that transverse the universe at the speed of…

When a black hole consumes a star, it produces a "tidal disruption event." The shredding of the star causes an outburst of radiation that can outshine the combined light of every star in the black hole's host galaxy for months, or even…
