Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely forged by earlier smash-ups fused into a 225-solar-mass titan, GW231123. The ...
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves, using the US National Science Foundation-funded (NSF) LIGO ...
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 ...
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration recently began a new observing run that promises to take gravitational-wave astronomy to the next level. According to scientists from across the ...
A signal lasting less than a second traveled about 1.3 billion light years before it reached an observatory deep in the piney woods of Livingston 10 years ago. The brief signal — caused by a pair of ...
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 ...
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 ...
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) has seen over 300 black hole mergers in its short time in operation, and now it’s seen an event so large—and so rare—that it challenges ...
Could LIGO find alien spacecraft accelerating to near light speed? The gravitational wave detector LIGO has made hugely important discoveries. But what else might be hiding in the ripples’ of ...
Louisiana is known for many things — music, arts, culture, food. But chances are that, outside a highly specialized community, it is not recognized as a hub of physics experimentation.Yet that’s ...
The LIGO Hanford Observatory near the Tri-Cities and its twin in Louisiana detected ripples of time and space passing through Earth from the most massive collision of black holes ever observed, a ...
