When a gravitational wave interacts with matter, energy, or a complex apparatus like a gravitational wave detector, can the wave itself transfer energy into whatever it's interacting with?

If I let the gravitational potential energy at an infinite distance be zero Joules, then: Yes, the gravitational potential energy in this way would always be negative.

Astronomers search for sources of mind-bending gravitational hum permeating the universe A massive hum of energy pervades the universe. Is it supermassive black holes or something weirder?

The 5,000 pencil-size robots will fit snugly inside 10 wedge-shaped petals. Here, one of those wedges is fully stocked with 500 robots, each of which will swivel independently to gather light from ...

Energy forms - CCEA Higher tier: Gravitational potential energy Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be transferred, dissipated or stored in different ways.

A century after Albert Einstein predicted their existence, gravitational waves have finally been detected, tiny ripples in the fabric of space-time that were generated when two massive black holes ...

Right after the Big Bang, gravitational waves may have built on each other to create huge standing waves of gravitational energy.

If gravitational waves experience gravity, that means that gravitons don't just interact with the energy-carrying particles of the Standard Model, but there is a graviton-graviton interaction as well.

Supermassive black hum: Scientists discover gravitational wave background that permeates universe The source could be merging black holes — or something more 'mind-bending' ...

Upgraded LIGO detectors spot gravitational waves First direct confirmation of a century-old prediction of general relativity.
