The latest crop of space-time wobbles includes a variety of heavy, fast-spinning, and lopsided colliding black holes.

The results reveal that our universe is reverberating with cosmic collisions. Some of the waves stem from pairs of black ...

The showpiece Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) is designed to work in sync with two similar facilities in the United States which, in 2015, detected gravitational waves for ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a huge installation measured in kilometers that is listening for wrinkles in space-time. Pulling this off is a true story of hardware ...

The LIGO Livingston observatory is located on LSU property, and LSU faculty, students and research staff are major contributors to the collaboration, which develops detector technology and analyzes ...

A team of researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), in the U.S., has developed what they describe as a squeezed light system to improve detection sensitivity.

Ten years ago, astronomers made an epic discovery with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Cosmology hasn’t been the same since, and it might not stay that way much longer. By ...

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 ...

After a whirlwind tour of press conferences, parties and awards following their Feb. 11 announcement of the world’s first direct detection of gravitational waves, the team of scientists at the Laser ...

PASADENA, Calif.– The search for gravitational waves has revealed new information about the core of one of the most famous objects in the sky: the Crab Pulsar in the Crab Nebula. An analysis by the ...
