Some of the universe’s densest objects can twist, stretch, and resonate in ways that challenge even the most seasoned ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of subatomic particles with no electric charge (i.e., neutrons). When two ...

A mysterious striped signal from the Crab Pulsar may finally be explained by a delicate balance between plasma effects and ...

Future missions will be able to find signatures of violating the parity-symmetry in the cosmic microwave background polarization more accurately after a pair of researchers has managed to take into ...

Gravitational waves may leave a permanent timing gap in light, revealing how gravity preserves information through a memory effect.

The study of relativistic effects in gravitational fields remains at the forefront of physics research, refining our comprehension of space‐time and its intricate interplay with matter. Notably, ...

A new study published in Nature Astronomy indicates that the dense, star- and dark-matter–rich environments around supermassive black hole binaries pack on the order of a million solar masses into ...

The “gravity hole” in East Antarctica formed at least 70 million years ago after convection in Earth’s mantle. The weak gravity could impact our oceans.
