Scientists detected the first long-predicted gravitational wave in 2015, and since then, researchers have been hungering for ...

Some extensions of the Standard Model exhibit similar discrete symmetry breaking, wherein the scalar field representing the ...

A new study will improve the detection of gravitational waves—ripples in space and time. Scientists at the University of ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering co-led a new study by an ...

A group of scientists believed that Earth and Jupiter could be used as laboratories that would help convert gravitational ...

So far this “memory” effect has remained undetected, but the next generation of gravitational-wave detectors should be able to find them. And if they do, it will open up a new avenue to ...

A third detector in Italy, Advanced VIRGO, came online in 2016. In Japan, KAGRA is the first gravitational-wave detector in Asia and the first to be built underground. Construction began on LIGO ...

The collision, reported in a preprint paper, was detected by one part of an international network of gravitational wave detectors, comprised of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory ...

A leading gravitational wave observatory recently detected ripples in spacetime that scientists say came from the collision of a dead, superdense stellar remnant and an unknown object. The stellar ...
