Scientists have used a “galaxy-sized” space observatory to find possible hints of a unique signal from gravitational waves, or the powerful ripples that course through…
University of Chicago scientist lays out how LIGO gravitational waves could be scrambled, yielding information. There’s something a little off about our theory of the…
Primordial gravitational waves, produced nearly 13.8 billion years ago in the moments following the Big Bang, still echo through the universe today. Credit: MIT News…
The merger of black holes could release energy in the form of ELFs (bottom left of the image). It might be possible to detect their…
The massive O4.5 V + O5.5 V binary VFTS 352 in the Tarantula Nebula (location indicated by the red cross) is one of the shortest-period…
