If it were indicative of a wormhole, GW190521 and gravitational waves like it wouldn't just confirm the existence of these ...

Scientists propose that gravitational waves shaped the universe. Their model challenges inflation theory. How exactly did the universe start, and how did these processes determine its formation and ...

A team of scientists led by expert Raúl Jiménez, ICREA researcher at the University of Barcelona's Institute of Cosmos Sciences (ICCUB), in collaboration with the University of Padua (Italy), has ...

AI is rewriting the laws of physics, uncovering hidden forces, and reshaping our understanding of the universe. Discover the ...

Astronomers have reported a bumper crop of new gravitational wave detections. The 35 new signals, comprising the third Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-3), help scientists probe the depths ...

A new type of gravitational wave detector running in Western Australia has recorded two rare events that might be signals of dark matter or primordial black holes. These high-frequency gravitational ...

Ten years ago, scientists heard the universe rumble for the first time. That first discovery of gravitational waves proved a ...

Celebrating 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves coming from colliding black holes, LIGO has confirmed ...

This new propulsion system could rewrite the rules of spaceflight—not to mention completely defy conventional physics.

Scientists using a continent-wide array of radio telescopes have made an extremely precise measurement of the curvature of space caused by the Sun’s gravity, and their technique promises a major ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

Even teeny objects obey the law of gravity. A gold ball just 2 millimeters wide, with a mass of about 90 milligrams, is now the smallest object to have its gravitational pull measured. Observations of ...
