A new method to analyze gravitational-wave data could transform how we study some of the universe's most extreme events—black ...

The Langlands programme has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up ...

For reference, Pluto’s average distance from the Sun is about 40 AU, so 2023 KQ14 is quite distant. At 23.4 billion miles (37 ...

Researchers are using machine learning, symbolic regression, and high-performance computing to explore and classify string ...

The Trump administration has proposed closing either the LIGO Hanford observatory in WA or its twin in Louisiana.

Astronomers have detected the signal of a colossal black hole in deep space that likely formed when two already-large black ...

Astronomers have detected the most massive black hole merger ever observed, challenging stellar evolution and black hole formation theories.

Scientists develop a more accurate way to analyse gravitational waves, that could give us a clearer picture of the Universe’s most extreme collisions, led by the University of Portsmouth, England.
