Researchers have built a small but powerful detector to find gravitational waves in a hidden frequency range. The discovery ...

As the story goes, mathematician Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in an orchard after supper when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He wondered why apples always fall straight to the ground, instead of ...

The Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, one of the radio telescopes used to detect the pulses from pulsars in the new research. The telescope started to fall apart in 2020 and was decommisioned.

Did you know that moving a clock one inch toward the ground would result in a slower tick compared to the same clock positioned higher up? Gravity doesn't just pull things; it also bends time.

Physicists have detected the biggest ever merger of colliding black holes. The discovery has major implications for researchers’ understanding of how such bodies grow in the Universe. “It’s super ...

Researchers have designed a new type of gravitational wave detector that operates in the milli-Hertz range, a region ...

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

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 ...

A new detector that uses atomic clock technology to detect gravitational waves in the previously inaccessible milli-Hertz ...

Decades ago physicists realized that gravitational waves are no mere passing phenomenon. Instead those ripples in space should leave behind permanent marks: a fixed distortion in their wake. So far ...

Scientists have unveiled a new approach to detecting gravitational waves in the milli-Hertz frequency range, providing access ...
