Gravitational waves from stellar cocoons are thought to be promising candidates because they are the right shape — not too symmetrical, to emit strong enough signals to be detected.

University of Colorado Boulder astrophysicist Jeremy Darling is pursuing a new way of measuring the universe's gravitational wave background—the constant flow of waves that churn through the ...

Astrophysicists describe what galaxy-wide gravitational waves could mean for our understanding of black holes and the history of the cosmos. Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space ...

These waves, known as gravitational waves, carry crucial clues about cosmic events. Astrophysicists use quasars to detect invisible gravitational waves Skip to main content ...

These stochastic, or background, gravitational waves, are rumbling from all over the universe at the speed of light, gently buffeting Earth from all directions. The Earth sits in a sea of ...

Most of the waves remain 'indistinguishable', superimposed and added together, creating a flat, diffuse background signal that scientists call the 'stochastic gravitational wave background' (SGWB).

Gravitationally speaking, the universe is a noisy place. A hodgepodge of gravitational waves from unknown sources streams unpredictably around space, including possibly from the early universe.

Already, gravitational waves have helped confirm Einstein’s general theory of relativity, discover a new class of black holes of moderately sized masses and unmask the fireworks that happen when ...

LISA is an interferometer, meaning that the mission will sniff out gravitational waves using laser interferometry—measuring the distances between masses using incredibly precise laser beams ...
