Astronomers have spotted AT2025ulz, a rare dual explosion — a supernova and a kilonova — that may be the first-ever observed ...

A massive star may have burst, leaving behind two dense, dead cores, which then collided and caused another explosion ...

Astronomers may have identified the first-ever superkilonova, a massive cosmic explosion, through a gravitational wave signal ...

A puzzling cosmic blast detected in both light and gravitational waves may hint at a previously unseen type of explosion, ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

A superkilonova candidate event, named AT2025ulz, was observed in 2025; LIGO and Virgo first spotted gravitational waves, ...

Physicists are no longer content to simply listen to ripples in spacetime. A new proposal sketches out how an exquisitely ...

Astronomers may have discovered the first example of an explosive cosmic event called a "superkilonova," in the form of a gravitational wave signal detected on Aug. 18, 2025.

A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...

Scientists have confirmed Albert Einstein's 100 year-old theory of gravitational waves, detected using a massive system of instruments called the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory ...

Astronomers have found evidence for a possible first-of-its-kind "superkilonova," or a kilonova spurred by a supernova. Such an event has been hypothesized but never seen.

A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a superkilonova.
