We’ve all heard of black holes and even white holes but what about gray holes? In this video, we explore one of theoretical physics’ strangest and least understood ideas: cosmic objects that sit ...

Researchers have built a small but powerful detector to find gravitational waves in a hidden frequency range. The discovery ...

A new paper presents a method for distinguishing between different sources of nanohertz gravitational waves. Pulsars may be ...

On human timescales, the universe may as well be eternal. It’ll be here long after our species and our planet are gone, but ...

Researchers analyzing pulsar data have found tantalizing hints of ultra-slow gravitational waves. A team from Hirosaki University suggests these signals might carry “beats” — patterns formed by ...

But the Windy City’s “rat hole” may not be what it seems. New research into the identity of the creature that caused a sidewalk imprint when it fell into freshly poured cement suggests the culprit is ...

Astronomers have detected one of the darkest objects ever seen at a record cosmic distance—only with the assistance of ...

Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by international pulsar timing array collaborations in 2023 could come from a stochastic ...

These are called lifeshocks. Lifeshocks are “things” that are thrown at us by G-d, the universe, your Higher Power-whatever ...

I was introduced to Gary Larson’s series of cartoons called The Far Side at about age 18, in my first full-time job, in ...

The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer ...

Fellows receive an $800,000, no-strings-attached grant to pursue their interests. Since 2020, UC alumni and faculty have ...
