When two sufficiently massive objects collide — such as when two black holes merge — the forces can actually bend space-time, creating ripples called gravitational waves. These gravitational waves can ...

New research shows how disruptions to binary star systems could be the key to detecting space's most confounding substance — dark matter. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Gravitational Waves, ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein almost a century ago, were detected for the first time in 2015. A new study led by Yanou Cui, an associate ...

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 ...

Gravitational waves from black holes may soon reveal where dark matter is hiding. A new model shows how dark matter surrounding massive black holes leaves detectable fingerprints in the waves recorded ...

Evidence is growing for an ultralight dark matter particle called the axion. A study of light warped by galaxies has shown that it is better explained by axion dark matter than weakly interacting ...
