Scientists have developed a more precise method for analyzing gravitational waves, offering a sharper view into the ...

At 225 solar masses, this gargantuan merger of two black holes challenges our thinking on these famously elusive objects.

L ast month, work began on the world’s first space-based gravitational wave detector. The European Space Agency and partner ...

A new method to analyze gravitational-wave data could transform how we study some of the universe's most extreme events—black ...

A new theory promises to simplify our approach to the universe's earliest moments, but some cosmologists say further ...

The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

Gravitational waves, the result of two black holes merging, have been detected by a sophisticated observatory. Scientists say that proves Einstein was right.

The waves in Wednesday's announcement traveled for 1.4 billion years before they reached Earth late last year and set off detectors at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO ...

On August 14th, Virgo detected its first gravitational wave signal — along with the LIGO observatories — from a pair of black holes violently merging over a billion light-years away.
