A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

A UK-based research project, TomoGrav, will produce the first 3D movies of black holes, mapping plasma flows and gravity in real time using advanced AI and global telescope networks.

A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...

Gravitational waves from black holes may soon reveal where dark matter is hiding. A new model shows how dark matter surrounding massive black holes leaves detectable fingerprints in the waves recorded ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a remarkably intimate portrait of two small galaxies locked in a slow, spiraling ...

You can take a scale model to Zhejiang University, where the CHIEF1900 gravitational centrifuge can batter it with 300 times ...

Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool ...

Beneath the explosions, collisions and other intermittent bangs in the cosmos, scientists suspect a nonstop soundtrack plays, created by ripples in spacetime continually washing through the universe.

Until recently, gravitational waves could have been a figment of Einstein’s imagination. Before they were detected, these ripples in spacetime existed only in the physicist’s general theory of ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Physicists have been buzzing (or rather, tweeting) about the ...

A superkilonova candidate event, named AT2025ulz, was observed in 2025; LIGO and Virgo first spotted gravitational waves, ...

Scientists have finally found direct evidence of gravitational waves — a feat Albert Einstein never thought we would manage. But what does this discovery actually mean? For starters, it opens a new ...
