UC Riverside has developed a technology that enables scientists to peer deeper into the universe. Gravitational-wave science ...
In 2019, LIGO and Virgo recorded something truly bizarre – a gravitational wave event less than a tenth of a second in ...
The LIGO Hanford Observatory near Richland is expected to detect 60% more cataclysmic cosmic events — like colliding neutron stars and black holes — thanks to a quantum limit breakthrough. Since the ...
A new detector that uses atomic clock technology to detect gravitational waves in the previously inaccessible milli-Hertz ...
Since that day, LIGO — composed of two highly sensitive laser interferometers located in Hanford, Washington and Livingston, ...
It sounds like the setup for a joke: If radio waves give you radar and sound gives you sonar, what do gravitational waves get you? The answer might be “GRADAR” — gravitational wave “radar” — a ...
The BlackGEM array will search in visible light for mergers of black holes and neutron stars. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A ...
Researchers from the UAB, IFAE and University College London propose using the variations in distance between the Earth and the Moon, which can be measured with a precision of less than a centimeter, ...
The newly detected gravitational wave background could be the result of supermassive black hole binaries that orbit each other for a few million years before merging. By now you’ll have seen the news ...
Signals buried deep in data from gravitational wave observatories imply a collision of two black holes that were clearly born in different places. Almost all the spacetime ripples that experiments ...
In 2019, LIGO and Virgo recorded something truly bizarre – a gravitational wave event less than a tenth of a second in duration. Compared to the drawn-out chirps of black hole binaries on decaying ...
