The path of a gravitational wave passing near a galaxy can be bent, producing multiple signals that could help next-generation detectors measure the expansion of the Universe.
The Facility for Rare Ion Beams opens its doors to experiments that will study the formation of heavy elements in the Universe and provide critical tests of nuclear theories.

The combination of gravitational-wave and x-ray observations of neutron stars provides new insight into the structure of these stars, as well as new confirmation of Einstein’s theory of gravity.

By combining this data and with the help of the so-called universal relations (such as the well-k. Show more
