Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley researchers will participate in project

Announcement more than doubles the number of confirmed planets from Kepler

Three recent studies reveal details about meteor impacts, giant planets and cosmic particle accelerators

If such observers are using the same search methods that scientists are using on Earth, researchers propose that humanity should turn its collective ear to Earth’s “transit zone.”

"Detecting this signal is possible if we are able to monitor a sufficiently large number of pulsars spread across the sky," says lead author of paper.

Researchers have successfully simulated how a ring-shaped black hole could cause general relativity to break down: assuming the universe contains at least five dimensions, that is.

Move will significantly improve the ability of scientists to pinpoint the sources of gravitational waves and analyze the signals

LIGO opens new window on the universe with observation of gravitational waves from colliding black holes

Although the waves have yet to be detected, research is intensifying and researchers believe they are close to detecting them

Scientists look to outer space to understand how life's building blocks first formed
