Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) has the following research output in the current window (1 November 2024 - 31 October 2025) of the Nature Index. Click on Count to view a ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a huge installation measured in kilometers that is listening for wrinkles in space-time. Pulling this off is a true story of hardware ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new, unsupervised machine learning approach to find new patterns in the auxiliary channel data of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Finding ...

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 ...

Fuzziness may rule the quantum realm, but it can be manipulated to our advantage. When two black holes spiral inward and collide, they shake the very fabric of space, producing ripples in space-time ...

A new theoretical framework shows how subtle fluctuations in spacetime could be detected using existing interferometers.
