Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

Black holes, once purely theoretical, are now observable phenomena, offering insights into the universe. Their intense ...

A high-speed crash between two dwarf galaxies might explain a unique feature in space – and provide useful information on ...

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

In a recently published paper in Physical Review Letters, scientists propose a comprehensive theoretical framework indicating that gravitational wave signals from black hole mergers are more complex ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

There are objects in our universe so dense that not even light escapes through them. These oddities, known as supermassive black holes, can weigh billions of times more than our sun. Scientists have ...

Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption ...

Whereas detectors like LIGO and Virgo can capture the final stages of a black hole collision, LISA will be able to track them for years before they merge as they spiral in towards each other ...

Whereas detectors like LIGO and Virgo can capture the final stages of a black hole collision, LISA will be able to track them for years before they merge as they spiral in towards each other, ...

Nearly 10 years ago, scientists observed ripples in spacetime created by the collision of two black holes that took place 1.3 billion years ago. The first direct detection of gravitational waves ...
