UW-Milwaukee physics and astronomy assistant professor Lia Medeiros explains gravitational waves and the role UWM played in discovering them.
Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by ...
Scientists are still hunting for the source of the faint, persistent hum of gravitational waves discovered reverberating through the Milky Way last year. Those waves could point to more than one ...
College students' measurements during a "ring of fire" solar eclipse last year have confirmed a long-held prediction about mysterious gravity waves in Earth's atmosphere.The students confirmed the ...
In 2019, LIGO and Virgo recorded something truly bizarre – a gravitational wave event less than a tenth of a second in duration. Compared to the drawn-out chirps of black hole binaries on decaying ...
Spotting flaws is sometimes the first ripple in making waves of innovation. Comparing directly observed gravity waves with the latest advanced simulations, researchers from the Research Organization ...
Hurricane Helene made landfall in the United States on September 26, hitting the Gulf Coast of Florida. Its path of death and destruction was monitored in detail from the ground and space, and it was ...
New approach to detecting gravitational waves in the milli-Hertz frequency range - providing access to space phenomena that ...
The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors ...
