When black holes need a place to crash, they prefer a nice, bright quasar. So says Chiara Mingarelli, an assistant professor of physics in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and a key member of an ...

Astronomers and astrophysicists at five different pulsar timing array collaborations today announced data that strongly suggests the presence of a gravitational wave background: a constant murmur of ...

A new study published in Nature Astronomy indicates that the dense, star- and dark-matter–rich environments around supermassive black hole binaries pack on the order of a million solar masses into ...

A recent preprint claims that we may someday be able to create gravitational waves in a lab. Through the use of “twisted” light, we could create powerful, high-frequency waves in a controlled setting.

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 ...
