Defending his stance, Goyal explained that "I’ve spent years optimising my health and performance"

Global science, Indian leadership: 10 years of gravitational-wave astronomy and India’s opportunity

September 15, 2025 3:19 pm

From Einstein’s equations to black hole collisions, the story of gravitational waves is one of theory, doubt, and discovery — with India set to play a major role in its future. LIGO-India will also give us early access to a host of advanced technologies involving lasers, precision optical systems and quantum metrology

Vesta may not have the dense core that differentiated planetary bodies usually have, according to new discoveries based on spin-rate data and gravity-field mapping.

Scientists say asteroid 'Vesta' might be a piece of a planet that no longer exists

May 19, 2025 12:29 pm

A new study by Michigan State University researchers suggest that Vesta isn’t a protoplanet but a chunk of an ancient, lost world.

Did Isaac Newton use beer to write his theory of gravity? What new study says

March 01, 2025 9:44 pm

Isaac Newton's beer-based ink would 'endure many years,' and scientists believe this homemade formula may have been widely used in his work.

The bright arcs and the streaks of light in this Webb image betray a phenomenon known as "gravitational lensing," which scientists use to observe galaxies that otherwise would have been too far away.

LIGO will be back in 2023, able to detect even ‘fainter’ gravitational waves

July 07, 2022 7:50 pm

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is a massive laser interferometer that helped scientists confirm the existence of gravitational waves in 2016, working in tandem with the Virgo observatory in Italy.

Explained: How a tiny wiggle in the young universe gave birth to black holes

April 14, 2020 7:34 pm

According to the scientists, as time passes, this uniform energy prevailing in the Inflation Field wanes out. As a result, the universe resumes its normal decelerating rate.
