Observatories, experiments and techniques are being developed to spot ripples in space-time at frequencies that currently can’t be detected. In September 2015, a vibration lasting just one-fifth of a ...

In September 2015, a vibration lasting just one-fifth of a second changed the history of physics. It was the first direct detection of gravitational waves — perturbations in the geometry of space-time ...

Physicists have finally confirmed a phenomenon that sounds like pure science fiction: waves that appear to bounce off a sudden change in time rather than a surface in space. The effect, known as a ...

From a telescope network that spans much of the globe to a psychology study that spans 67 countries, here are the biggest science experiments on the planet. When you purchase through links on our site ...
