Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking recognized AI's immense potential to solve global challenges and improve lives. However ...

A decade ago, the universe whispered, and humanity, for the first time, had the tools to listen. On September 14, 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) made history with ...

On Sept. 14, 2015, physicists attained the long-sought goal of detecting gravitational waves, the shockwaves spewed out by such cataclysmic events as the violent merger of two black holes. Now, in the ...

Scientists have used a gravitational wave detector to "hear" two black holes getting bigger as they merged into a single, gigantic entity. The detection, made by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational ...

"GW250114 is the loudest gravitational wave event we have detected to date; it was like a whisper becoming a shout." The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is celebrating 10 ...

Back in 1971, the late physicist Stephen Hawking made an intriguing prediction: The total surface area of a black hole cannot decrease, only increase or remain stable. So if two black holes combine, ...
