Ten years after the historic discovery of gravitational waves, and having spotted hundreds more of these space-time swells since then, physicists say they are only just getting started. On 14 ...

On September 14, 2015, a signal arrived on Earth, carrying information about a pair of remote black holes that had spiraled together and merged. The signal had traveled about 1.3 billion years to ...

Installation of in-vacuum equipment as a part of the squeezed-light upgrade before Advanced LIGO’s third observing run. LIGO team members install in-vacuum equipment that is part of the squeezed-light ...

Ten years ago, astronomers made an epic discovery with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Cosmology hasn’t been the same since, and it might not stay that way much longer. Out ...

After nearly a decade of planning, lobbying, and fine-tuning, the Indian government has greenlit the full-scale construction of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory-India ...

Ten years after LIGO’s historical detection of gravitational waves, the project is cracking black hole mysteries at an astounding pace. Reading time 4 minutes LIGO’s discovery of gravitational ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, has already won its researchers a Nobel Prize — and now artificial intelligence is poised to take LIGO’s search for cosmic collisions ...

The black hole was bigger than expected, and while the answer was hiding in plain sight, it still rewrites what we thought ...

Long ago, in a galaxy far away, two black holes danced around each other, drawing ever closer until they ended in a cosmic collision that sent ripples through the fabric of spacetime. These ...

LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, has been called the most precise ruler in the world for its ability to measure motions more than 10,000 times smaller than the width of a ...
