In a historic first, astronomers have detected low-frequency gravitational waves using a galaxy-sized antenna of millisecond pulsars in the Milky Way. Astronomers have heard the faint hum of ...

“This is the first-ever evidence for the gravitational wave background. We’ve opened a new window of observation on the universe.” The gravitational wave background, a kind of cosmic noise ...

Researchers just announced the discovery of the gravitational wave background. After a 15-year-long study, the scientists have finally “heard” what they were looking for: the gravitational ...

Astrophysicists have now detected a background sea of gravitational waves, using a galaxy-scale detector made up of dead stars. Gravitational waves are distortions in spacetime itself, which were ...

The fabric of the universe is constantly rippling, according to astronomers who have discovered a background buzz of gravitational waves. These waves may be produced by supermassive black holes ...

“The gravitational-wave background was always going to be the loudest, most obvious thing to find,” said Chiara Mingarelli, an astrophysicist at Yale University and a member of ...

The researchers described the universe's gravitational wave background as the equivalent of hearing the hum of a large group of people talking at a party, without being able to distinguish any ...

University of Colorado Boulder astrophysicist Jeremy Darling is pursuing a new way of measuring the universe's gravitational wave background—the constant flow of waves that churn through the ...

Previously when physicists have modeled black hole mergers and the gravitational waves they send through space, they have only done so with linear mathematics, without considering how these waves ...
