We call black holes in this gap lite intermediate mass black holes or lite IMBHs, because they are the least massive black ...

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, ...

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

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

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

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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in the space-time fabric that were first predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916. They were detected directly on earth nearly a century later in 2015.

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.
