An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

A new method to analyze gravitational-wave data could transform how we study some of the universe's most extreme events—black holes smashing into each other. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Using a powerful mathematical tool, scientists have unveiled the intricate "ringing" of black holes, unlocking patterns missed for decades and laying the groundwork for sharper gravitational wave ...

Dead stars called pulsars (illustrated) emit beams of radio waves that sweep past Earth like clockwork. Gravitational waves from supermassive black hole pairs (upper left) are thought to ripple ...

NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Short Wave hosts Regina Barber and Emily Kwong about the music of Earth's magnetosphere, a mission to Jupiter's icy moons, and a potential runaway supermassive black hole.

Gravitational waves come straight from the source—merging supermassive black hole binaries—and aren't affected by gas and dust on their way to the Earth.

Here’s how it works. Researchers spotted a mysterious wave (the white arc in this photo) rippling across the surface of a Greenland fjord last year. However, they are unsure what caused it.

By introducing waves into a liquid and creating a vortex at the centre, the team mimics some of the interactions that occur in black holes. “We generate this effective gravitational field ...
