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 ...

Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder may have solved a pressing mystery about the universe's gravitational wave ...

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, ...

In 2019, LIGO and Virgo recorded something truly bizarre – a gravitational wave event less than a tenth of a second in duration. Compared to the drawn-out chirps of black hole binaries on decaying ...

(Nanowerk News) In May 2023, shortly after the start of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run, the LIGO Livingston detector observed a gravitational-wave signal from the collision of what is most ...

Gravitational wave signals that seem to emanate from black hole collisions may actually come from the clashes of odd, exotic stars – which have been theorised but may or may not exist. If they do, ...

For the first time, astrophysicists have measured the recoil — or “kick,” in the parlance — resulting from the birth of a new black hole that formed from the merger of two preexisting ones. The ...

Scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology anticipate ushering in the era of gravitational wave astronomy within the decade as part of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or ...

After the death of a massive, spinning star, a disk of material forms around the central black hole. As the material cools and falls into the black hole, new research suggests that detectable ...

Osaka Metropolitan University researchers introduced a technique to enhance the reliability of gravitational wave parameter estimation results produced by machine learning. The team developed two ...
