Binary pairings of small black holes could be used by astronomers in a cosmic game of "hide-and-seek" to hunt much larger, yet more elusive, supermassive black hole binaries. The technique could, ...
Astronomers and astrophysicists at five different pulsar timing array collaborations today announced data that strongly suggests the presence of a gravitational wave background: a constant murmur of ...
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 ...

LIGO confirmed the existence of gravitational waves in 2015, detecting one-time perturbations of spacetime from the merger of large black holes. There should be a background of gravitational waves ...
LISA is set to revolutionize our understanding of the gravitational universe and the interactions that make the entire cosmos turn. Reading time 6 minutes LISA, a $1.6 billion gravitational wave ...
The universe is humming with gravitational radiation — a very low-frequency rumble that rhythmically stretches and compresses spacetime and the matter embedded in it. That is the conclusion of several ...
