New research has shown that future gravitational wave detections from space will be capable of finding new fundamental fields and potentially shed new light on unexplained aspects of the Universe.

EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...

Gravitational waves may leave a permanent timing gap in light, revealing how gravity preserves information through a memory ...

Detecting gravity waves isn’t easy. But what if you had a really big detector for a long time? That’s what researchers did when they crunched 15 years’ worth of data from the NANOGrav data set. The ...

A gravitational wave detector just picked up something that could, in theory, demystify the deepest secrets surrounding the birth of the universe. The detector, which is based around using a ringing ...

Flashes of gravitationally lensed starlight could act as cosmic lighthouses revealing the presence of binary supermassive ...
