"We studied the last several orbits before the merger, when the entwined magnetic fields undergo rapid and dramatic changes, ...

Gravity from mountains on rapidly rotating neutron stars produces ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) searches for such ...

New simulations performed on a NASA supercomputer are providing scientists with the most comprehensive look yet into the ...

Researchers co-led a study that will improve the detection of gravitational waves--ripples in space and time. Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering ...

Is nature really as strange as quantum theory says -- or are there simpler explanations? New neutron measurements prove: It doesn't work without the strange properties of quantum theory. Can a ...

Schematic of the neutron interferometer used in the orbital angular momentum experiment. Neutron waves enter from the left and are divided into two beams which take different paths before being ...
