A newly observed gravitational wave event from the collision of two massive, rapidly spinning black holes forces scientists to reconsider how these cosmic giants are born and grow.
One year after scientists working in Livingston Parish and Washington state announced stunning news of the world's first-ever detection of gravitational waves, a sociologist embedded with the project ...
The detection, made by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) on Jan. 14, provides the best evidence yet for a theory put forth by famed physicist Stephen Hawking more than ...
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves, using the US National Science Foundation-funded (NSF) LIGO ...
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, has already won its researchers a Nobel Prize — and now artificial intelligence is poised to take LIGO’s search for cosmic collisions ...
Trump budget proposal seeks to close one of two U.S. LIGO observatories by 2026. LIGO facilities detected first gravitational waves and advanced multi-messenger astronomy. Proposed closure risks ...
