On Sept. 14, 2015 astronomers “heard” two black holes crashing into each other at close to the speed of light. This discovery was a watershed moment in physics and astrophysics, heralding an entirely ...

One of the most spectacular achievements in physics so far this century has been the observation of gravitational waves, ripples in space-time that result from masses accelerating in space. So far, ...

Cowritten by Charlie Huntington and Tchiki Davis. Binaural beats are what happens when two equally loud sounds, at just slightly different frequencies (or tones), are presented at the same time, one ...
