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 ...

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 ...

A new preprint study posted toarXiv by a team at Applied Physics in New York suggests that LIGO – the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory – might be able to detect something far more ...
