After 15 Years, Evidence of Cosmic Gravitational Wave Background
The universe is humming with gravitational radiation — a very low-frequency rumble that rhythmically stretches and compresses spacetime and the matter embedded in it. Artist’s interpretation of an array of…
Scientists have finally ‘heard’ the chorus of gravitational waves that ripple through the universe
This undated photo provided by researchers in June 2023 shows the Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico. This and several other telescopes around the world were used to observe the slow…

Link Between Dark Matter and ‘Clumpiness’ of Universe
Researchers at the University of Toronto have revealed a theoretical breakthrough that may explain the nature of invisible dark matter and the universe’s large-scale structure known as the cosmic web.…
Double Quasar in Early Universe
Scientists have discovered a pair of gravitationally bound quasars inside two merging galaxies that existed when the universe was just 3 billion years old. An international group of researchers, including…
