A new study suggests that the cosmic web could have formed without relying on inflation driven by a scalar field. Instead, it ...

The work is published in the journal Physical Review Letters. The team examined the public catalogue of 69 gravitational wave events involving binary black holes detected by the Laser Interferometer ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies ...

The size and spin of black holes can reveal how and where they were born, and gravitational waves offer a way to decode this information like a cosmic DNA test.

In an article published in Physical Review Letters on Thursday, scientists carried out an innovative study testing the existence of mirror asymmetries in our universe by studying the handedness of the ...

Using the largest gravitational wave detector ever made, we have confirmed earlier reports that the fabric of the universe is constantly vibrating. This background rumble is likely caused by ...

Gravity waves have to involve a trigger. Whether it’s a mountain range or a thunderstorm updraft. It’s key that the air rises ...

Recently, a research team from National Astronomical Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences jointly proposed a novel  gravitational wave ...

This week, scientists with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute reported that a key current, the Atlantic Meridional ...

Those events are akin to throwing a pebble in a pond, but there are vibrations all the time. Some of them might end up making ...
