On June 29, 2023, an international team of astronomers announced that they had detected the gravitational wave background of the universe for the first time. This is a major breakthrough in astronomy, as it provides new insights into the early history of the universe. The gravitational wave background is a...
A new study published in the journal Physical Review Letters has found that everything in the universe, including black holes, will eventually evaporate. The study, conducted by researchers at Radboud University in the Netherlands, found that Hawking radiation, which is emitted by black holes, is not limited to the event...

LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, is back online after a three-year hiatus. The upgrades to LIGO have made it significantly more sensitive, and it is now expected to detect gravitational waves from colliding black holes every two to three days. This is a major increase from the previous rate...
