A mathematical investigation of galactic data suggests elusive dark matter is confined to the rules of gravity.

Twin black hole collisions detected in 2024 have provided the sharpest-ever test of Einstein’s theory while revealing new details about how black holes form and spin.

"GW241011 and GW241110 are among the most novel events among the several hundred that the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network has ...

Hard to believe it has been 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves. Back then, on Sept. 14, 2015, at 5:51 a.m., it had been 100 years since Albert Einstein predicted gravitational ...

In an announcement that electrified the world of astronomy, scientists said Thursday that they have finally detected gravitational waves, the ripples in the fabric of space-time that Einstein ...

Ten years ago today, on Sept. 14, physicists detected gravitational waves rippling through the cosmos for the first time. The roots of this discovery date back a century. Albert Einstein's general ...
