PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- We have another question to answer, and this one has to deal with some very interesting clouds. Ray C. took a picture just outside of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, where you can see ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of ...

Techniques developed to analyze the ripples in spacetime detected by one of the 21st century's most sensitive pieces of scientific equipment have helped cast new light on the function of the oldest ...

UW-Milwaukee physics and astronomy assistant professor Lia Medeiros explains gravitational waves and the role UWM played in discovering them. It’s been just over a decade since physicists first ...

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 ...

Physicists are no longer content to simply listen to ripples in spacetime. A new proposal sketches out how an exquisitely tuned laser experiment could, in principle, nudge gravitational waves ...

The Earth’s atmosphere is host to a diverse spectrum of wave phenomena, among which acoustic-gravity waves occupy a pivotal role. These waves arise from the interplay between compressional (acoustic) ...

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity to its toughest test yet.
