Believe it or not, the quantum vacuum... isn't completely empty. It has tiny vibrations or “sparks” of energy. If an object ...

A fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions ...

Alexander Grothendieck was a titan in his field, making deep connections that fuelled a revolution in mathematics, before ...

A fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions. Scientists tracked the complete cosmic collision, confirming that black ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made ...

The true “informational age” of the cosmos may be 62 billion years, not just the 13.8 billion years of our current expansion.

New observations of two black holes merging have confirmed predictions made decades ago by Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, ...

Future gravitational wave observations will allow us to test more exotic scientific theories, and maybe even probe the missing components of the universe—dark matter and dark energy.

Spacetime ripples from a black hole collision across the cosmos have confirmed weird aspects of black hole physics ...

In 1972, Stephen Hawking published a seminal study showing that as two black holes merge, the surface area of the final event ...
