The universe occasionally produces a huge surprise that proves physicists wrong, says Kip Thorne, who grew up in Logan, Utah, ...

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 ...

"So far we have been watching the cosmos like a silent movie, capturing the ripples of spacetime with LISA will be a real game-changer, like when sound was added to motion pictures." When you purchase ...

EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...

Gravity waves are ripples in the atmosphere caused by winds pushed up and down as they blow along. This undulating motion can continue for hundreds of kilometres downwind from the initial ...

Scientists have unveiled a new approach to detecting gravitational waves in the milli-Hertz frequency range, providing access to astrophysical and cosmological phenomena that are not detectable with ...

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) ...

Winds blowing over the Appalachian Mountains on Wednesday created a dazzling display of gravity waves in the nearby clouds. The phenomenon is a spectacular example of how terrain can influence the ...
