When two black holes spiral together and merge, they send ripples through spacetime that detectors on Earth can pick up.

A new study suggests that influence from fermionic fields could be causing black holes to defy one of their own core rules.

Scientists have proposed a surprising new way to detect gravitational waves—by observing how they change the light emitted by ...

Published in Physical Review Letters, the study proposes that dense clumps of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) — each ...

The team added new limits to how dark matter could interact with the LIGO detector, boosting hopes for future runs. Reading time 2 minutes A team of researchers has proposed a novel way to search for ...

The study of gravitational dynamics interweaves the classical and quantum realisations of gravity, employing both traditional methods and modern amplitude techniques. At its core, the subject ...

Could this “spooky action at a distance” lead us one step closer to the ever-elusive Unified Theory of Everything?

Gravity is one of four fundamental interactions. The most precise description of this force is still provided by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, published in 1915, an entirely classical ...

In what appears to be a masterful illusion, astronomers at Gemini Observatory have imaged two nearly identical spiral galaxies in Virgo, 90 million light years distant, in the early stages of a gentle ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

A new investigation into old Kepler data has revealed that a planetary system once thought to house zero planets actually has two planets that orbit their star in a unique style, like an old-fashioned ...
