We’ve just doubled the number of gravitational waves we can find
Nearly imperceptible quantum flickers used to limit how precisely we could detect the way space-time ripples, but squeezing ...
Scientists Might Achieve the Impossible and Actually *See* Gravity
Gravity is the only one of the four fundamental forces whose force carrier, the graviton, has never been directly observed.

It Happened Here: LIGO installation at Hanford detects gravitational wave
The instrument is so sensitive that the Hanford device was picking up a raven pecking at the frost on the pipes that ...
Future gravitational wave observatories could see the earliest black hole mergers in the universe
In February 2016, scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) confirmed they made the first-ever detection of gravitational waves (GWs). These events occur when ...
Alien Spaceships Could Be Detected Using Gravitational Waves
The concept of space-time makes Star Trek-style warp drives theoretically possible, and researchers have proposed a way of ...
Researchers propose way to "see" gravity for the first time
The leading idea is that gravity arises from the exchange of hypothetical "graviton" particles, much like electromagnetism ...
A New Theory Says the Universe Is Rebooting Itself
A fringe theory known as non-singular matter bouncing cosmology claims to answer these issues by suggesting that the universe ...
Black hole or neutron star? Gravitational wave 'chirps' can tell us what becomes of dying stars
The current generation of gravitational wave detectors could "hear" supernovas over 65 million light-years away, helping ...
Quantum Experiment Could Finally Reveal The Elusive Gravity Particle
The graviton – a hypothetical particle that carries the force of gravity – has eluded detection for over a century. But now ...
