The LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) observatory, now in development, will detect gravitational waves, the tiny ripples in space-time caused by

Dr. Ning Li’s research into superconductors promised a technological revolution, attracted NASA and Army funding, and made international…

More than a century after Einstein revolutionized our understanding of gravity, scientists have uncovered a surprising new phenomenon hidden within his equations.…

A sweeping barred galaxy takes center stage in this Oct. 22, 2026, image, but the gravitational lensing at bottom right is the real target. This observation

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will use gravitational microlensing to study dark matter. But it's a wide-field survey telescope, and the venerable Hubble Space Telescope can do things it can't do. That's why the Hubble is lending a hand.

The world of the future is closer than you think. On October 24th, 2026, aerospace researcher Gary V. Stephenson outlined a future vision…

Theory says that during some SMBH mergers, the merger remnant receives a recoil kick from gravitational waves. Instead of sitting placidly in the galactic center, these recoiled SMBH are sent on a pendulum-like motion, back and forth through the galactic…

This Hubble gravitational lensing image is one of many taken in preparation for science with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

A new statistical model reveals more details about the ringdown period of merging black holes.

The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA (LVK) detector network has a new trick up its sleeve to improve the instruments’ sensitivity to gravitational waves: it’s called Astrophysical Calibration and it plays a role similar to auto-tune in music production.

Researchers at the University of Alabama in Huntsville have found a new way to measure the mass of neighbouring galaxies using pulsars. Using the universe's most precise natural clocks it’s possible to detect tiny gravitational disturbances rippling…

New theoretical work suggests that the pattern of light emitted by atoms could be used to detect gravitational waves at frequencies outside the range of traditional detectors

Dark matter makes up roughly 85 percent of all the matter in the universe. We have never directly detected a single particle of it. But a new method developed by physicists at MIT and across Europe may have just opened a door we didn't know existed.…

From Independent RSS Feed: Scientists might have finally found a way to spot dark matter

The Universe’s biggest black holes may not be born giants after all. Scientists analyzing gravitational-wave signals from dozens of black hole collisions found evidence that the heaviest black holes are likely “cosmic recyclers” — formed through repeated…

"The key question now is, are these black holes telling us that our models of stellar evolution are wrong, or are they being made in another way?"

Newton's gravitational constant, G, is still known to just 3 significant figures in 2026. New measurements merely highlight our uncertainty.
