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.

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 ...

Weather Words: Gravity Waves ...

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, ...

Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool for mapping the invisible, with theorists now arguing that ripples in ...

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 ...
