A novel way to find aliens might be through gravitational wave detection, Loeb says. He is interested in laser interferometry ...

Extreme cosmic events such as colliding black holes or the explosions of stars can cause ripples in spacetime, so-called gravitational waves. Their ...

Einstein believed that black holes didn't really exist. But they do: that much we know. We don't know much else about them.

Can scientists build a detector of near-Earth objects that would sense gravitational waves produced by any "dark" objects ...

The three researchers all contributed key findings that led to discoveries made by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), two twin observatories in Louisiana and ...

We urge our U.S. senators to stand up for science and stop these firings and budget cuts at our country's premier, vital ...

Astronomers have used space-based telescopes, including NASA's Swift X-ray observatory, to watch a monster black hole spring ...

The project will explore how gravitational wave detection techniques-such as those used by LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) and LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna)-can ...
