Gravitational wave hunters will get an ultracool new tool in 2023

We have been detecting gravitational waves since 2015, but there is still much more to learn. The Matter-wave Laser Interferometric Gravitation Antenna will use ultracold atoms to spot ripples in space-time at lower frequencies than ever before

Impossibly huge black holes may have come from weird ancient stars

Gravitational wave observatories have spotted black holes that were too massive to be explained by our best models, and they may have formed from weird stars in the early universe
