Since 2020, the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory—commonly known as LIGO —has been sitting dormant while it underwent some exciting upgrades.

Physicist Tom Dooney developed DeepExtractor, a fast AI tool for cleaning gravitational wave data that helps scientists ‘hear’ the universe better.

We call black holes in this gap lite intermediate mass black holes or lite IMBHs, because they are the least massive black holes that we expect to exist from sources other than stars. They are no ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015, its twin detectors based in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, ...

A map of the universe in gravitational waves could reveal "hidden" black holes, supermassive black hole collisions, and the large-scale structure of the cosmos.

Just as ocean waves shape our shores, ripples in space-time may have once set the Universe on an evolutionary path that led ...

A team of scientists has proposed a groundbreaking new theory on the Universe's origins, offering a fresh, radical take on ...

After a prolonged absence from the gravitational-wave-detection scene, the massive LIGO project is back up and running. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) works in ...

Gravitational waves, like electromagnetic radiation, come in a range of frequencies with high-frequency gravitational waves, like high-frequency light, having shorter wavelengths and being more ...

This means that by measuring gravitational waves, astrophysicists like me can peek directly into the heart of some of the most spectacular phenomena in the universe. Since 2020, the Laser ...

Gravitational waves stretching and squeezing the space between the pulsars and Earth cause the pulsars’ ticks, observed with a variety of radio telescopes around the world, to come early or late.

Gravitational-wave detector LIGO is back — and can now spot more colliding black holes than ever The twin gravitational-wave detectors have started a new observation run after a major upgrade.
