When two black holes collide, space and time shake and energy spreads out like ripples in a pond. These gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein in 1916, were observed for the first time by the ...

The first part ably introduces the reader to quantum mechanics, founded more than a century ago, yet still perplexing. Is a beam of light a succession of waves or a host of particles?

For nearly a decade, scientists have been hunting for the gravitational wave background, a faint but persistent echo of gravitational waves thought to have been set off by events that took place ...

An international team of scientists found that powerful shock waves may help explain why black holes spew matter into space, shedding light on one of the biggest mysteries in the universe.

After escaping black holes, particles accelerate to nearly the speed of light and shine as bright as 100 billion suns, according to international team that includes researchers from China.

Various large-scale astrophysical research projects are set to take place over the next decade, several of which are so-called cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. These are large-scale ...

Some theorists are now floating ideas that range from dark matter interactions to new physics beyond the Standard Model.
