When LIGO detected gravitational waves unleashed from two colliding black holes for the first time in science history, it set ...

For centuries, the primary way that astronomers studied outer space was through sight. But just ten years ago, scientists successfully established a way to ‘listen’ to our cosmos – detecting ...

They suggest that when two supermassive black hole binaries emit waves at almost the same frequency, their interference ...

Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by international pulsar timing array collaborations in 2023 could come from a stochastic ...

In 2019, LIGO and Virgo recorded something truly bizarre – a gravitational wave event less than a tenth of a second in duration.

Illustration of two black holes orbiting each other. Initially, scientists expected LIGO might detect just a few of these collisions. But now, nearing the first detection’s 10th anniversary, we have ...
