Scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt have identified a new way to probe the interior of neutron stars using ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves to turn them into "cosmic tuning forks." The reverberations of such ripples in spacetime ...

In a paper published earlier this month in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists led by Jonathan Richardson of the ...

The research paper reports a breakthrough that will enable gravitational-wave detectors to reach extreme laser powers. It ...

The passing gravitational waves “stretch or contract the universe by around 20 meters [about 65 feet] or so,” says Matthew ...

One of the key developments in this field has been the analysis of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers, which include neutron stars and black holes. The Gravitational-Wave Transient ...

As binary neutron stars inspiral for millions of years, they emit gravitational waves, but the most intense emission occurs at and just milliseconds after the moment of merging. The post-merger ...

Observing them could therefore provide a window into the death of massive stars and the creation of black holes, but there’s a catch: the supernova might have to happen in our own galaxy. Physicists ...
