Scientists have confirmed a new gravitational wave signal coming from a black hole collision billions of years ago. Unlike earlier detections, this one carries unexpected details that challenge how ...

Identity released of person who died while in custody at Multnomah County jail The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday identified the person who died while in custody in the county’s jail ...

A new breakthrough in gravitational wave research is challenging long-standing assumptions about how these signals behave. Scientists analyzing recent data found patterns that suggest deeper structure ...

Osaka Metropolitan University researchers introduced a technique to enhance the reliability of gravitational wave parameter estimation results produced by machine learning. The team developed two ...

UW-Milwaukee physics and astronomy assistant professor Lia Medeiros explains gravitational waves and the role UWM played in discovering them. It’s been just over a decade since physicists first ...

LIGO's 2015 detection confirmed Einstein's theory and sparked a decade of data. Upgraded LIGOs now detect black hole mergers every three days with precision. New 2025 findings confirmed Hawking’s ...

For the first time, astrophysicists have measured the recoil — or “kick,” in the parlance — resulting from the birth of a new black hole that formed from the merger of two preexisting ones. The ...

The younger black hole, the product of a cataclysmic cosmic event known as a black hole merger, was first spotted in 2019. Now, about 6 years later, a team of international researchers led by the ...

Hard to believe it has been 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves. Back then, on Sept. 14, 2015, at 5:51 a.m., it had been 100 years since Albert Einstein predicted gravitational ...
