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

Gravitational-wave detection technology is poised to make a big leap forward thanks to an instrumentation advance led by physicist Jonathan Richardson of the University of California, Riverside. A ...

Compared to the drawn-out chirps of black hole binaries on decaying orbital spirals, it was a sharp crack. The best ...

Scientists first detected ripples in space known as gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes in September 2015. This discovery marked the culmination of a 100-year quest to prove one of ...

In 1972, Stephen Hawking published a seminal study showing that as two black holes merge, the surface area of the final event ...

First, gravitational waves proved Einstein correct. Now, they’ve confirmed Stephen Hawking was right about black holes.

After watching that, I joked with a friend that the gravity we feel every day is actually a result of space-time being ...

Check out what's happening each day this week in Baton Rouge, including LSU Family Weekend, a sushi cooking class, and other ...

Scott Detrow talks to Lulu Miller, the host of Radiolab's Terrestrials podcast, about her conversation with the scientist Wanda Diaz-Merced, who studies gravitational waves that ripple through ...

Scientists are still hunting for the source of the faint, persistent hum of gravitational waves discovered reverberating through the Milky Way last year. Those waves could point to more than one ...
