In the woods of Livingston Parish, scientists are working to investigate gravitational waves generated millions of light-years from Earth. At the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, a ...
New mirror coatings will increase the volume of space LIGO can probe in its next run. Since LIGO's groundbreaking detection, in 2015, of gravitational waves produced by a pair of colliding black holes ...
Just shy of a century after Einstein penned his infamous paper on general relativity scientists finally confirmed a cornerstone of his predictions in 2015 — gravitational waves, little curvatures of ...
On September 14th, 2015, less than 72 hours after it began operation at it's current sensitivity, an incredible event unfolded at each of the twin LIGO detectors in Washington and Louisiana: an event ...
The Nobel Prize-winning project that hunts for gravitational waves— ripples in space and time—is about to begin the longest and most sensitive observational run to date. The National Science ...
Spiral dance: gravitational waves ripple out from merging black holes. (Courtesy: LIGO/T Pyle) Hot on the heels of their revolutionary, first ever direct observation of gravitational waves announced ...
The journey began about 20 years ago. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) was built in Handford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana, to detect and study the gravitational ...
After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of measuring gravitational waves—tiny ripples in space itself that travel through the universe. Unlike light ...
In a little over a year the LIGO Hanford Observatory near Richland expects to open a new center, where students and the public can learn about gravitational waves at the place where their existence ...
In some ways, it was a typical Southern California scene. Late Tuesday morning, two men found themselves surrounded by an entourage of friends, family and publicists and preceded by a gaggle of ...
Just last month, we told you about a small group of Danish physicists who were casting doubt on the original gravitational wave signal detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave ...
