Scott Detrow talks to Lulu Miller, the host of Radiolab's Terrestrials podcast, about her conversation with the scientist Wanda Diaz-Merced, who studies gravitational waves that ripple through ...

The GW190412 merger revealed a black-hole recoil moving faster than 50 km/s. Gravitational waves allowed its 3D motion to be reconstructed. A research group led by the Instituto Galego de Física de ...

LIGO observatory near Richland confirmed Einstein’s theory of relativity, it also has proven one of Hawking’s theorems.

A black hole merger detected with record-breaking clarity has just confirmed a bold theory Stephen Hawking proposed over 50 ...

This black hole merger animation was created using data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors on April 12th, 2019, an observation designated GW190412. Credits: © N. Fischer, H.

Trying to figure out the nature of the universe and our place in it has been a quest of humankind since the beginning of time. That these powerful tools exist today in Louisiana should be a source of ...

LSU researchers at LIGO Livingston celebrate the 10th anniversary of their Nobel-winning proof of Einstein's theory of ...

Gravitational waves shake the very fabric of the universe when black holes collide. Today we measure these events and use them to understand the cosmos. Now University of Copenhagen researchers and ...

For scientists, learning more about how black holes behave is essential to understanding how the universe works. A recent ...

This black hole merger animation was created using data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors, an ...

Scientists have captured the clearest signal yet of a black hole collision, confirming Stephen Hawking's theory.

For the first time, scientists measured a newborn black hole that "kicked" off into space after 2 larger black holes merged ...
