It took less than a second for the space observatory hidden in Louisiana woods to detect a black hole that is that is ...

To date, the collaboration has detected dozens of merger events since its first Nobel Prize-winning discovery. Early detected ...

New gravitational wave findings from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration report the discovery of the largest black hole merger ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015 ...

Though our solar system and the movement of its planets appear relatively sedate, there are many things that could upset the ...

Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely ...

Gravitational waves spotted by LIGO reveal two black holes, 140 and 100 times the mass of the sun, merged to become a 225 solar mass behemoth.

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

Our galaxy’s centre may contain an exceptional cosmic spinning top – a black hole that seems to be spinning almost as fast as possible. Michael Janssen at Radboud University in the Netherlands ...

A physics conference has received a report of the gravitational wave from the heaviest pair of black holes we’ve so far observed merging. The result is larger than theoretical models allow through ...

For decades, scientists have believed there should be black holes that fall between two well-known types. On one end are stellar-mass black holes, formed by collapsing stars, with masses between 5 ...
