In a breakthrough, scientists have found the first evidence of gravitational waves at very low frequencies. In a black hole binary, the two black holes orbit each other, and produce low-frequency gravitational waves. Professor Lam told ABP Live that supermassive black hole binaries are the most probable cause behind these very low-frequency gravitational waves because a supermassive black hole is …
Astronomers have some big gravitational wave news Enlarge this image toggle caption NANOGrav collaboration; Aurore Simonet NANOGrav collaboration; Aurore Simonet All Things Considered host Ari Shapiro returns to nerd-out with Regina G. Barber and Geoff Brumfiel on science in the news. They discuss the discovery of new gravitational waves, a robot prototype that draws design inspiration from nature and why …
Scientists may have, for the first time, heard the gravitational wave background or resonant ‘hum’ that permeates the Universe for the very first time. Researchers studying the signals from distant pulsars, made use of radio telescopes to collect statistics that may indicate the effects of gravitational waves. According to study authors, the low-frequency signal may be attributable to gravitational waves. …
Even with advanced technology and decades-long space research, many aspects of the universe still largely remain a mystery. In a promising new study, scientists think they have found a faint background of gravitational waves in the universe. However, the other gravitational waves that ripple across our universe are almost never rapid or strong. Most of the gravitational waves are very …
