Gravitational waves are extraordinarily faint ripples in the fabric of space-time, caused by cataclysmic events such as star collisions. Albert Einstein predicted them in 1916 as part of his ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves. New research shows ...

When two enormous black holes collide in deep space, they send shockwaves rippling across the universe. These shockwaves, ...

Welcome to a new era in astrophysics. A huge international team of scientists have just announced the discovery of yet another gravitational wave signal sent out by the violent collision of two ...

SEE ALSO: This is one of the best gravitational waves explainers we've seen Both LIGO detectors are designed to pick up faint ripples in the fabric of space and time as they move through Earth's ...

As a Hubble Fellow, Karambelkar will expand his research with upcoming astronomical surveys, including the Vera C. Rubin ...

Let’s slow down for a moment. Gravitational waves are ripples in space-time, first predicted by Einstein over a century ago and only observed for the first time in 2015 by part of what is now ...

New approach could aid “multimessenger” astronomy by quickly locating sources of gravitational waves emitted during these ...
