The international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration reports the observations of two record-breaking events in gravitational wave ...

In a major scientific breakthrough, researchers have detected a persistent gravitational wave background — subtle ripples in ...

UW-Milwaukee physics and astronomy assistant professor Lia Medeiros explains gravitational waves and the role UWM played in discovering them.

In a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration reports on the detection of two gravitational wave events in October and November of 2024 ...

Scientists are still hunting for the source of the faint, persistent hum of gravitational waves discovered reverberating through the Milky Way last year. Those waves could point to more than one ...

EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...

The younger black hole, the product of a cataclysmic cosmic event known as a black hole merger, was first spotted in 2019. Now, about 6 years later, a team of international researchers led by the ...

Gravity waves are a type of cloud pattern that have little to do with gravity and more to do with the waves. Think of a rock being thrown in a lake or pond and the ripples it creates. As the ripples ...

The Earth’s atmosphere is host to a diverse spectrum of wave phenomena, among which acoustic-gravity waves occupy a pivotal role. These waves arise from the interplay between compressional (acoustic) ...
