Although most don't hear it, the Earth has a hum that some people all over the world are sensitive to. It is most often unexplained and maddening, but now scientists believe they have an answer to ...

On Earth, a visible ripple effect occurs when a stone is thrown into the water. In space, a similar phenomenon happens. However, instead of creating waves that can be seen by the human eye or optical ...

Scientists monitor how ripples in spacetime, most likely caused by the interaction of supermassive black holes, affect the timing of signals from pulsars. (Illustration by Aurore Simonnet for NANOGrav ...

The Earth’s hum comes from the bottom of the sea and not from turbulence in the atmosphere, says a US researcher, backing a novel theory put forward in 2004. The hum is a low rumble continually ...

A team of international researchers is conducting research to discover the "hum" made by gravitational waves that has never been heard before. Neutron stars cause gravitational waves, and the hunt for ...

The fabric of the universe is constantly rippling, according to astronomers who have discovered a background buzz of gravitational waves. These waves may be produced by supermassive black holes ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, first detected in 2015. But an expected corresponding low-frequency ...

Strange as it may seem, the Earth’s atmosphere rings out in a chorus of frequencies just below the reach of the human ear. Although we cannot hear these “infrasonic” waves — which have frequencies ...

In the last decade, astronomers made a major discovery, confirming the existence of gravitational waves. These long-theorized ripples in spacetime are created when extremely massive bodies such as two ...

The hunt for the never before heard 'hum' of gravitational waves caused by mysterious neutron stars has just got a lot easier, thanks to an international team of researchers. The hunt for the never ...

Using an array of ticking pulsars stretched across part of the Milky Way, astronomers have found the 'background hum' of gravitational waves that could be the result of merging supermassive black ...

A decade ago, physicists using twin detectors in Washington State and Louisiana detected gravitational waves—subtle ripples in space-time—for the first time. The landmark discovery, confirming Albert ...
