Scientists have unveiled a new approach to detecting gravitational waves in the milli-Hertz frequency range, providing access ...

Researchers have designed a new type of gravitational wave detector that operates in the milli-Hertz range, a region ...

Gravitational waves are caused by cosmic events like colliding black holes or neutron stars, explosive supernovas and even the birth of the universe. The waves travel across the universe at the speed ...

The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors ...

Gravitational-wave detection technology is poised to make a big leap forward thanks to an instrumentation advance led by physicist Jonathan Richardson of the University of California, Riverside. A ...

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

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

Researchers have spent 10 years improving the massive detectors they use to catch shockwaves from colliding black holes, and ...

Scientists are exploring groundbreaking methods to harness Earth and Jupiter as vast observatories for detecting gravitational waves, potentially unveiling cosmic secrets from the dawn of the universe ...

Update, 10:50 a.m.: For the first time, scientists have observed ripples in the fabric of space and time, called gravitation waves, confirming a major prediction of Albert Einstein's 1915 general ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the United States has detected gravitational waves for the first time. This is one of the most important astrophysical observations ...

The 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded Tuesday morning to three pioneers of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, which announced last year the world's first direct detection ...
