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

The very concept of black holes seems improbable. Albert Einstein infamously refused to believe they could exist, even though ...

Two colossal black holes among the most massive ever seen collided in deep space, creating gravitational waves that rippled across the cosmos and shook the foundations of astrophysical theory.

The powerful merger, designated GW231123, produced an extremely large black hole about 225 times the mass of our Sun.

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.
