Two merging black holes, each roughly 30 times the mass of the sun, in a computer simulation. Gravitational wave observatories, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), ...

After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of measuring gravitational waves — tiny ripples in space itself that travel through the universe. Unlike light ...

Humanity's first space-based gravitational wave detector has received the go-ahead. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, which consists of three spacecraft that together form a ...

A gravitational wave detector just picked up something that could, in theory, demystify the deepest secrets surrounding the birth of the universe. The detector, which is based around using a ringing ...

New research has shown that future gravitational wave detections from space will be capable of finding new fundamental fields and potentially shed new light on unexplained aspects of the Universe.

Two intriguing signals spotted in a small gravitational-wave detector could represent all kinds of exotic phenomena — from new physics to dark matter interacting with black holes to vibrations from ...

EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...

Scientists aim to build the first graviton detector to explore gravity's quantum nature, despite significant challenges.

For the first time, scientists detected gravitational waves caused by mergers between black holes and neutron stars. Researchers from LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA detected the two gravitational wave ...

With support from the W. M. Keck Foundation, a Stevens–Yale collaboration is now transforming graviton detection from a ...

Detecting gravity waves isn’t easy. But what if you had a really big detector for a long time? That’s what researchers did when they crunched 15 years’ worth of data from the NANOGrav data set. The ...
