A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning “forbidden” black holes that challenge physics ...

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

New gravitational wave findings from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration report the discovery of the largest black hole merger ...

The massive black hole has been dubbed GW231123. Its unusual size and behavior is challenging scientists' understanding of ...

To date, the collaboration has detected dozens of merger events since its first Nobel Prize-winning discovery. Early detected ...

Physicists call such ripples gravitational waves. Gravitational waves were predicted by Albert Einstein in 1915 as part of his theory of relativity, but he thought they were too weak to ever ...

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration has announced a groundbreaking discovery in the field of gravitational wave astronomy. The international research team has detected the most massive merger ...

In 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) directly detected gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time, for the first time ever—almost exactly one century after ...

Astronomers have detected the largest black hole merger ever, and it has challenged their understanding of such formations.

The detection of gravitational waves from this event has generated a lot of scientific interest. It has the potential to ...

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