Researchers just announced the discovery of the gravitational wave background. After a 15-year-long study, the scientists have finally “heard” what they were looking for: the gravitational waves that ...

The gravitational waves we’ve detected so far have been like tsunamis in the spacetime sea, but it’s believed that gentle ripples should also pervade the universe. Now, a 13-year survey of light from ...

Cosmic claims: researchers have used radio telescopes around the world to hunt for gravitational waves using the subtle variations in the timing of pulsars. (Courtesy: Aurore Simonnet for the NANOGrav ...

The fabric of the universe is constantly rippling, according to astronomers who have discovered a background buzz of gravitational waves. These waves may be produced by supermassive black holes ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, first detected in 2015. But an expected corresponding low-frequency ...
