Yet, as UNILAD Tech reports, gravitational wave detectors LIGO and Virgo picked up the anomaly six years ago: a brief and ...

Chinese researchers are poring over a puzzling gravitational wave signal that appears to defy the standard script of black ...

Astronomers may have discovered the first example of an explosive cosmic event called a "superkilonova," in the form of a gravitational wave signal detected on Aug. 18, 2025.

Learn about what may be the first ever superkilonova ever observed, emitting gravitational waves that hint at the collision ...

A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...

Astronomers may have identified the first-ever superkilonova, a massive cosmic explosion, through a gravitational wave signal ...

A puzzling cosmic blast detected in both light and gravitational waves may hint at a previously unseen type of explosion, challenging astronomers to rethink how neutron stars are born and collide.

The LIGO/VIRGO/KAGRA collaboration searches the universe for gravitational waves produced by the mergers of black holes and neutron stars. It has now announced the detection of a signal indicating a ...

A remarkably clean gravitational-wave detection has confirmed long-standing predictions about black holes, including Hawking’s area theorem and Einstein’s ringdown behavior. The findings also provide ...

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 ...

Two merging black holes, each roughly 30 times the mass of the sun, in a computer simulation. Gravitational wave observatories, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), ...
