Astronomers might have a shot at imaging primordial black holes
Gravitational waves could be the key to imaging elusive primordial black holes born in the first moments of our Universe.
Pulsars and giant black holes open new doors in cosmic archaeology
A 15-year study using observed radio signals from the 67 pulsars has concluded that the entire cosmos is filled with undulating gravitational waves.
Footprints of phase transitions in the early universe
Gravitational waves produced by the phase transitions of matter right after the Big Bang could provide new insights into particle physics.
Neutron stars may be hiding quark matter in their cores
Massive neutron stars have such enormous pressure in their cores that neutrons residing there lose their integrity and become a new type of matter.
Scientists look for “new physics” beyond the Standard Model
Even a well-established theory like the Standard Model is not accurate all the time, and there are phenomena that defy its predictions.
