Scientists on the hunt for a previously undetected type of gravitational waves believe they are getting close and have refined techniques to use in upcoming observational runs. Researchers from the ...

Astronomers are getting closer to finding sources of continuous gravitational waves, thanks to observations of Scorpius X-2, a neutron star accreting matter from a low-mass binary companion. So far, ...

The universe is continuously rippling with gravitational waves, a 15-year survey has reported. Using pulsars as distant beacons and radio telescopes to plumb the galaxy, a massive collaboration of ...

Scientists are leveraging the precise timing of spinning dead stars, known as pulsars, to detect subtle ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by gravitational waves from distant cosmic events.

The joint German-British Gravitational Wave Detector GEO600 has now entered an 18-month run of continuous measurement. Researchers are optimistic that they will be able to observe a never before seen ...

Gravity from mountains on rapidly rotating neutron stars produces ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) searches for such ...
