Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool ...

Astronomers have spotted AT2025ulz, a rare dual explosion — a supernova and a kilonova — that may be the first-ever observed ...

New research explores how gravitational waves from black hole systems could help scientists study dark matter, using improved models and future detectors like LISA ...

Hard to believe it has been 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves. Back then, on Sept. 14, 2015, at 5:51 a.m., it had been 100 years since Albert Einstein predicted gravitational ...

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

Gravitational waves from black holes may soon reveal where dark matter is hiding. A new model shows how dark matter surrounding massive black holes leaves detectable fingerprints in the waves recorded ...

Astronomers may have discovered the first example of an explosive cosmic event called a "superkilonova," in the form of a gravitational wave signal detected on Aug. 18, 2025.

On Sept. 14, 2015, physicists attained the long-sought goal of detecting gravitational waves, the shockwaves spewed out by such cataclysmic events as the violent merger of two black holes. Now, in the ...

A superkilonova candidate event, named AT2025ulz, was observed in 2025; LIGO and Virgo first spotted gravitational waves, ...

In 2023, physicists were awed to find nearly imperceptible ripples in the fabric of space and time — united as an entity known as spacetime. They were ripples discovered in association with ...

After detecting a strange combination of signals in the summer of 2025, astronomers believe they may have captured the first ...
