A two-part “Wicked” musical-movie extravaganza has struck a chord. The first instalment took more than $750m at the global ...

Black holes, regions of spacetime in which gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, are intriguing and extensively studied cosmological phenomena. Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts ...

In the late 1980s, Elizabeth Ai liked to pile into a car with her not-that-much-older uncle and aunts and ride around Orange County, California, blasting New Wave music and getting away from their ...

UW-Milwaukee physics and astronomy assistant professor Lia Medeiros explains gravitational waves and the role UWM played in discovering them. It’s been just over a decade since physicists first ...

Researchers have designed a new type of gravitational wave detector that operates in the milli-Hertz range, a region untouched by current observatories. Built with optical resonators and atomic clocks ...

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 ...

Next week, the winners of the 2025 Nobel Prize for Physics will be revealed. In the run-up to the announcement I’m joined in this podcast by my colleague Matin Durrani, who has surveyed the last ...

EXCLUSIVE: The Navy SEALs are among the most elite and highly trained forces in the American military, charged with undertaking covert missions of incredible danger, with an emphasis on unconventional ...

Scott Detrow talks to Lulu Miller, the host of Radiolab's Terrestrials podcast, about her conversation with the scientist Wanda Diaz-Merced, who studies gravitational waves that ripple through ...

Ten years ago this month, gravitational waves were first detected on planet Earth. Now, gravitational waves had been something that scientists had thought existed going back to Albert Einstein. His ...

Gravitational Waves were only first observed in 2015, captured via instruments at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory. This is going to change the way we look at physics forever, ...

The younger black hole, the product of a cataclysmic cosmic event known as a black hole merger, was first spotted in 2019. Now, about 6 years later, a team of international researchers led by the ...
