BICEP2 Collaboration Gravitational waves from inflation generate a faint but distinctive twisting pattern in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background, known as a "curl" or B-mode pattern.

To detect the gravitational wave background, astronomers studied fast-spinning stars called millisecond pulsars, which are dead stars that spin up to 700 times per second with astonishing ...

Called Background-Oriented Schlieren using Celestrial Objects, or BOSCO, the technique has produced some of the most stunning images of supersonic aircraft ever captured.

Researchers have found the first direct evidence of a “background” of gravitational waves in the universe — a sign that gravitational waves from slowly merging pairs of supermassive black holes, or ...

A 15-year search reveals the first evidence of a cosmic 'gravitational wave background' emitted by ancient, colliding black holes. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

In February 2016, Gravitational Waves (GWs) were detected for the first time in history. This discovery confirmed a prediction made by Albert Einstein over a century ago and triggered a revolution ...

Scientists may have identified the gravitational waves that make up some of the universe’s background, not just those coming from unusual events like black hole collisions. New Atlas reports ...

Cosmic claims: researchers have used radio telescopes around the world to hunt for gravitational waves using the subtle variations in the timing of pulsars. (Courtesy: Aurore Simonnet for the NANOGrav ...

Scientists discover that universe has a background 'hum' 06/29/2023 Astronomers have made a discovery that confirms the existence of gravitational waves, which sound like the hum at a large ...
