The merger resulted in a combined black hole 225 times our sun’s mass, and challenges current astrophysical models of black ...

The pair merged to create a single hole about 225 times the mass of the sun.

A new study published in the journal PRX Quantum demonstrates how a network of quantum computers employing optical clocks can ...

Scientists propose using quantum-entangled clocks to test how gravity affects quantum mechanics in curved spacetime.

Gravity is a force we experience every day, yet it challenges our basic understanding of how the universe works. Why does everything seem to attract everything else? Why do objects fall, and why do ...
