The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for their roles in detecting faint ripples flying through the universe — gravitational waves predicted a century ago by Albert ...

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

The binary black holes in the universe are already astonishing enough, but researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical ...

Researchers at the LIGO gravitational wave observatory used a new technique called frequency-dependent squeezing to boost weak signals above quantum noise. When you purchase through links on our ...

The author, astrophysicist Cosimo Bambi of Fudan University, places the idea “somewhere between hard engineering and science ...

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

Researchers began building the LIGO labs in the 1990s, and finally in 2015, a LIGO site detected gravitational waves for the first time. It was an exciting moment for the physics community.

Physics & Mathematics Gravity Physicists want to use gravitational waves to 'see' the beginning of time News By Andrey Feldman published February 8, 2023 ...

Using part of the Milky Way as an antenna, researchers have found evidence for gravitational waves that undulate over periods of years to decades by measuring changes in the tick of ‘cosmic clocks’, ...

In a way that’s a much larger-scale version of existing gravitational wave detectors – but where LIGO’s lasers only travel 4 km, the average distance to the Moon is 384,400 km (238,855 miles).

As a gravitational wave propagates, it alternatively compresses and stretches space–time and exerts tidal forces on objects in its path. Long-baseline detectors search for these effects using laser ...

Researchers who helped detect gravitational waves for the first time, confirming part of Albert Einstein's theory in a landmark moment in scientific history, will share a $3 million US Special ...
