A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity to its toughest test yet.

Gravity waves have to involve a trigger. Whether it’s a mountain range or a thunderstorm updraft. It’s key that the air rises in a stable environment, so the air parcel will naturally come back down.

A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision—and a powerful way to test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed ...

Have you ever seen clouds that look like a wave in the ocean? Let's raise your weather IQ!

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, ...

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 ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By transferring minute amounts of energy between light and gravity, the interaction ...
