A new method to study the signals associated with merging neutron stars can help researchers to collect data through multiple channels in parallel.

Astronomers have found strong evidence of ultra-low-frequency gravitational waves, which probably come from pairs of supermassive black holes at the centre of merging galaxies.

Only those with serious eye problems would overlook Utrecht's newest tribute to ophthalmologist Franciscus Cornelis Donders. Unveiled today, the mural is the fifth in the Utrecht Wall Formulas series.

Researchers from Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ�� and Nikhef, among others, are publishing a study in Science that addresses no less than two essential questions in astrophysics.

Martinus Veltman passed away on 4 January 2021. Veltman was a Professor at Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ�� from 1966 to 1981 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1999.

"Martinus Veltman wanted to know how nature worked. The practical approach he used is his legacy in the field.”

The only other locations in the Netherlands to have earned the honour are the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory in Leiden and the NatLab in Eindhoven.
