A new data release more than doubles the number of gravitational-wave candidate events—and reveals unexpected complexities of merging black holes ...

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam have developed an accurate model for the detection and interpretation of gravitational waves emitted by neutron stars in ...

After the death of a massive, spinning star, a disk of material forms around the central black hole. As the material cools and falls into the black hole, new research suggests that detectable ...

A landmark study published in Nature has established a new benchmark in modelling the universe’s most extreme events: the collisions of black holes and neutron stars. This research, led by Professor ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, first detected in 2015. But an expected corresponding low-frequency ...
