Some of the universe’s densest objects can twist, stretch, and resonate in ways that challenge even the most seasoned physicists. Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars that have exploded as ...

Explore how waves behave when they encounter a boundary on a string. This lesson in electrodynamics and wave physics explains how an incoming wave splits into reflected and transmitted waves depending ...

A new study achieves unprecedented accuracy in modelling extreme cosmic events like black hole and neutron star collisions by calculating the fifth post-Minkowskian (5PM) order, crucial for ...

Scientists propose a gravitational-wave method called the stochastic standard siren to measure the Hubble constant, offering an independent way to examine the universe’s expansion and the Hubble ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

Eight days ago, it rained over the western Pacific Ocean near Japan. There was nothing especially remarkable about this rain event, yet it made big waves twice. First, it disturbed the atmosphere in ...

The radio waves we see from pulsars have a mysterious glitch – but now we know the ingredients that must be present in the heart of these ultra-dense stellar corpses to give their emissions a hiccup.

At the universe's grandest scales, galaxy clusters collide in slow-motion cataclysms, leaving behind immense, ghostly arcs — vast ribbons of diffuse radio emissions that can stretch across millions of ...
