AI framework links gravitational waves and radio afterglows
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Feb 02, 2026 When two neutron stars collide, they generate gravitational waves and light across the electromagnetic spectrum, from intense gamma ray flashes to faint radio signals that can persist for years. These multi-messenger events contain rich information about the physics of compact objects, their environments and the formation of heavy elements, but extracting that information efficiently has proved challenging. A collaboration led by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Labo ... read more |
Gravitational wave triad puts relativity under intense scrutinyBerlin, Germany (SPX) Feb 02, 2026 An international team working within the LIGO Virgo KAGRA collaboration has used the exceptionally clear gravitational wave signal GW250114 to carry out some of the most precise tests yet of Einstei ... more
GRACE gravity data reveal deep Earth signal linksTokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 21, 2026 Variations in Earths gravity field on annual to decadal timescales are usually attributed to changes in land water storage and ocean mass. However, seasonal observations reveal notable discrepancies ... more
Keck backed team advances first graviton detector conceptLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 19, 2026 Modern physics faces a deep inconsistency between quantum theory, which explains nature using discrete particles and interactions, and general relativity, which describes gravity as a smooth curvatu ... more

Is gravity quantum?
Boston MA (SPX) May 21, 2025 One of the most profound open questions in modern physics is: "Is gravity quantum?" The other fundamental forces - electromagnetic, weak, and strong - have all been successfully described, but no complete and consistent quantum theory of gravity yet exists. "Theoretical physicists have proposed many possible scenarios, from gravity being inherently classical to fully quantum, but the debate remains unresolved because we've never had a clear way to test gravity's quantum nature in the lab," s ... read more
