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, ...

They wouldn’t last for long, but the emissions from tiny black hole buds could light the way to quantum gravity.

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

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 ...

Gravitational waves were first detected in 2015, a century after Einstein predicted them, by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (or LIGO, now part of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA ...

This low-frequency background hum of gravitational waves in our universe was originally attributed to a change, or a "phase transition," that occurred shortly after the Big Bang. New research ...

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

Gravitational wave researcher Christopher Berry joins Leah and Chelsea this episode to talk about tuning the frequency of gravitational waves to vibrate the whole planet apart, whether it would be ...

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 are ripples in the fabric of space. Waves that originated in the early universe could carry important information about the phenomena that occurred there. When you purchase ...

"As [domain walls] move and evolve, they carry a lot of energy and emit gravitational waves," said Urrutia. At some point, however, they decay and you end up with "clumps" of dark matter, he added.

But gravitational waves were not detected definitively until 2015, at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) — two facilities located in Washington state and Louisiana ...
