The study authors propose that the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) has the potential to detect ...

This black hole merger animation was created using data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors, an ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a huge installation measured in kilometers that is listening for wrinkles in space-time. Pulling this off is a true story of ...

A team of researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), in the U.S., has developed what they describe as a squeezed light system to improve detection sensitivity.

A pivotal week in Corey Gray's life began with a powwow in Alberta and culminated with a piece of history: The first-ever ...

The grants for the Advanced LIGO Plus phase will come from the US National Science Foundation (US$20.4 million), UK Research and Innovation (US$13.7 million) and the Australian Research Council.

But now, researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) have found a way to beat this quantum noise. And as a result, they are finding nearly twice as many cosmic ...

But he was proved both right and wrong 100 years later, when an international team detected them for the first time using a pair of 4km-long L-shaped machines called Advanced LIGO. Pallab Ghosh ...

The best-fit models of LIGO's gravitational-wave signals are converted into sounds. The first sound is from modeled gravitational waves detected by LIGO on Dec. 26, 2015, when two black holes merged.

New research sets the most stringent limit yet on the mass of the graviton, suggesting it may indeed be massless as predicted ...

This is a view of the LIGO detector in Hanford, Washington. LIGO research is carried out by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, a group of more than 1,000 scientists from universities around the US ...
