16-06-16 Gravitational waves from a second pair of colliding black holes has validated the landmark discovery from earlier this year that confirmed Einsteins general theory of relativity. Rochester Institute of Technology scientists contributed to the initia...

16-05-31 Garbage, nutrients and tiny animals are pushed around, suspended in the worlds oceans by waves invisible to the naked eye according to a new 3-D model developed by mathematicians at the University of Waterloo. David Deepwell, a graduate student, and...

16-04-19 A new gravitational waves research project is awaiting governmental approval as China steps up its efforts to study the phenomenon, after a team of US scientists announced their historic discovery of gravitational waves on Thursday. 11日美国一支科学...

16-02-28 For the first time a team of scientists has tracked down the location of a fast radio burst (FRB), confirming that these short but spectacular flashes of radio waves originate in the distant universe. The breakthrough, published today in the journal...

16-02-14 China's domestic gravitational wave research project initiated by the Sun Yat-sen University in July 2015, is awaiting governmental approval. 2015年7月由中山大学发起的中国国内引力波研究项目正在等待政府审批。 The U.S.-based Laser Interferometer Gravi...

16-02-13 The case was the first announced recording of space-time oscillations -- gravitational waves, reaching the Earth after a catastrophe that happened far in the Universe. That confirms a significant prediction made in the special theory of relativity m...

15-12-03 Scientists have detected a burst of radio waves from six billion light years away, one of a handful they've discovered in the past decade -- and this time they have clues about its source. Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) Global Scho...

15-07-30 The coalescence of two black holes -- a very violent and exotic event -- is one of the most sought-after observations of modern astronomy. But, as these mergers emit no light of any kind, finding such elusive events has been impossible so far. Colli...

15-03-13 A system for using sound waves to spot potentially dangerous cracks in pipes, aircraft engines and nuclear power plants has been developed by a University of Strathclyde academic. A study found that transmitting different types of sound waves can he...

14-09-24 Scientists have shown how gravitational waves -- invisible ripples in the fabric of space and time that propagate through the universe -- might be seen by looking at the stars. The new model proposes that a star that oscillates at the same frequency...
