The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory has made a third detection of gravitational waves, providing the latest confirmation that a new window in astronomy has opened. As was the case ...

Pairs of black holes have been detected in the past through their gravitational effects, but until now, scientists have never ...

After decades of planning, building, prototyping, upgrading, and calibrating, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) finally achieved it's ultimate goal just a little over two ...

For only the second time in history, two powerful scientific tools on Earth have directly detected ripples in the fabric of space and time sent out by two colliding black holes. On Dec. 26, 2015, the ...

Back in February, scientists had announced discovering a trace of gravitational waves in space for the very first time after modern space equipment finally reached the sensitivity required to detect ...

One, two and now three historic waves have come from deep space — confirmed again by a chirping sound that was like music to the soul for the worldwide group of scientists waiting for it. An ...

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 ...

The National Science Foundation’s LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) is set to resume its hunt for gravitational waves — ripples in space and time — on April 1, after receiving ...

This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article. For the third time in a year and a half, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) ...

LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, achieved one of the holy grails of physics: by directly detecting gravitational waves for the first time. This was not an isolated event, ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory has made a third detection of gravitational waves, ripples in space and time, demonstrating that a new window in astronomy has been firmly ...
