To understand why scientists are excited about detecting a new background, just look to the history of studies of the CMB. There’s a new cosmological background in town. In June, researchers from the ...

Dark matter is thought to exist everywhere, wrapping around galaxies and helping to shape the largest things in the universe.

Gravitational waves could be responsible for the production of dark matter during the early phases of our universe's ...

Gravity waves are oscillatory disturbances that propagate through the atmosphere as a consequence of buoyancy acting as a restoring force. These waves facilitate the vertical transfer of energy and ...

General Relativity, Einstein’s revolutionary theory of gravity, reinterprets gravitational interactions as phenomena emerging from the curvature of spacetime rather than as forces in the traditional ...

An international collaboration of astrophysicists that includes researchers from Yale has created and tested a detection system that uses gravitational waves to map out the locations of merging black ...

A Richland roundabout is being narrowed to a single lane Wednesday as the city removes one of two sculptures inspired by the gravitational-wave research that won the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics. The ...

There’s a new cosmological background in town. In June, researchers from the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves, or NANOGrav, published the results of 15 years of ...

Gravitational waves as a research area encompass the theoretical modeling, detection, and astrophysical interpretation of ripples in spacetime predicted by general relativity and alternative gravity ...
