Since that day, LIGO — composed of two highly sensitive laser interferometers located in Hanford, Washington and Livingston, ...

A strange chirp detected by LIGO in 2019 has some scientists searching for answers beyond a simple black hole merger.

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made ...

Artificial intelligence is poised to take LIGO's search for gravitational waves to the next level, with Google's help.

An exceptionally loud collision between two black holes has been detected by the LIGO gravitational wave observatory, ...

Gravitational-wave detection technology is poised to make a big leap forward thanks to an instrumentation advance led by ...

College students' measurements during a "ring of fire" solar eclipse last year have confirmed a long-held prediction about mysterious gravity waves in Earth's atmosphere.The students confirmed the ...

One of the most spectacular achievements in physics so far this century has been the observation of gravitational waves, ripples in space-time that result from masses accelerating in space. So far, ...

Gravity waves are oscillatory disturbances that propagate through the atmosphere as a consequence of buoyancy acting as a restoring force. These waves facilitate the vertical transfer of energy and ...

Detecting gravity waves isn’t easy. But what if you had a really big detector for a long time? That’s what researchers did when they crunched 15 years’ worth of data from the NANOGrav data set. The ...

Due to come online later this year and packed with state-of-the-art optics, Advanced LIGO is aiming for a direct detection of gravitational waves that will open a new window on the universe, say Iain ...
