The same confident optimism which organized thousands of scientists towards the successful detection of high-frequency gravitational waves in 2015 now has produced its first fruit with another ...

A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015 ...

Less than a decade since the first detection of gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime itself—proposed budget cuts threaten ...

The announcement Thursday that elusive gravitational waves have been detected for the first time heralds a new era in astronomy that could be as important as Galileo’s first use of the telescope.

A group of Manitoba researchers were involved behind the scenes of an international effort that this week revealed how two massive black holes careened into one — happily, billions of light years from ...

This detection marked the beginning of the era of gravitational-wave astronomy, which uses gravity to examine the universe in the same way that conventional astronomy uses electromagnetic ...

The ground-breaking detection of gravitational waves, ripples in space and time postulated by Albert Einstein 100 years ago, that was announced in February was no fluke. Scientists said on ...

At 225 solar masses, this gargantuan merger of two black holes challenges our thinking on these famously elusive objects.

Detecting gravity waves isn’t easy. But what if you had a really big detector for a long time? That’s what researchers did when they crunched 15 years’ worth of data from the NANOGrav data se t.
