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

Of the four fundamental forces, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in our everyday lives, but perhaps surprisingly, it’s the weakest and hardest to measure here on Earth. Now, physicists in ...

Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by ...

Scientists using a continent-wide array of radio telescopes have made an extremely precise measurement of the curvature of space caused by the Sun’s gravity, and their technique promises a major ...

The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors ...

A new type of gravitational wave detector running in Western Australia has recorded two rare events that might be signals of dark matter or primordial black holes. These high-frequency gravitational ...

A network of optical cavities could be used to detect gravitational waves (GWs) in an unexplored range of frequencies, according to researchers in the UK. Using technology already within reach, the ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An image of a black hole surrounded by matter. Does the secret of quantum gravity lie around ...

This isn’t stylistic quirk. It’s full-on basketball philosophy, built from the ground up. And Pope is building it fast. Next week, Kentucky will open the season with an exhibition against No. 1 Purdue ...
