In June, scientists presented compelling evidence that they discovered a massive "hum" of low-frequency gravitational waves rippling through the universe. Similar to the ripple effect that occurs when ...

Scientists discovered low-frequency gravitational waves that bend and stretch space-time and distort all four dimensions of our universe.

In just a decade, gravitational wave observatories have changed astronomy. In this short time, we have accumulated hundreds ...

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 ...

On Sept. 14, 2015 astronomers “heard” two black holes crashing into each other at close to the speed of light. This discovery was a watershed moment in physics and astrophysics, heralding an entirely ...

Taking a look back over the last twelve months, here are several of the biggest science stories in physics this year, as well ...

In 2015, a piece of equipment at an observatory in the US moved one quintillionth (10-18) of a meter. This tiny movement was the first recorded event of gravitational waves. And it helped confirm ...

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

Gravity waves are oscillatory disturbances generated by the restoring force of buoyancy in a stably stratified atmosphere. They play a central role in transferring energy and momentum between ...

(Nanowerk News) A collaborative group of researchers has manipulated the behavior of light as if it were under the influence of gravity. The findings, which were published in the journal Physical ...
