The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors ...

Illustration of two black holes orbiting each other. Initially, scientists expected LIGO might detect just a few of these collisions. But now, nearing the first detection’s 10th anniversary, we have ...

A pioneering new approach to wave science could help improve early warnings for earthquakes, optimise renewable energies and advance medical diagnostics, researchers have said. A team of international ...

For centuries, the primary way that astronomers studied outer space was through sight. But just ten years ago, scientists successfully established a way to ‘listen’ to our cosmos – detecting ...

In 2019, LIGO and Virgo recorded something truly bizarre – a gravitational wave event less than a tenth of a second in duration.

UC Riverside has developed a technology that enables scientists to peer deeper into the universe. Gravitational-wave science ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is celebrating 10 years of cutting-edge gravitational wave science by confirming predictions made by physics luminaries Albert Einstein, ...
