Scientists have reactivated the upgraded Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) after a three-year break, improving its ability to measure gravitational waves. These waves offer new…
Gravitational waves could reveal whether the quark soup that existed in the early Universe is created in neutron-star mergers. RIKEN researchers suggest that gravitational-wave signals…
Two massive touching stars in a neighboring galaxy are on course to become black holes that will eventually crash together, generating waves in the fabric…
India has approved the construction of LIGO-India, a gravitational-wave observatory that will join a global network, enhancing the ability to pinpoint sources of gravitational waves…
A new SISSA study proposes an array of interferometers in space to detect subtle fluctuations in the background gravitational signals that may reveal the secrets…
Recent simulations of two black holes colliding at close to the speed of light have shed light on the enigmatic physics behind what has been…
Scientists have advanced in discovering how to use ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves to peer back to the beginning of everything we know….
Since 2015, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration has detected about 85 pairs of black holes crashing into each other. We now know that Einstein was right: gravitational…
OzGrav Makes Waves With $35M To Understand the Universe The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) at Swinburne has been…
Gravitational waves identify what could be a rare one-in-1000 event. Astronomers at Cardiff University have identified a strange twisting motion in the orbits of two…
Imagine taking a star with twice the mass of the Sun and crushing it down to the size of Manhattan. The result would be a…
The Gravitational Constant The gravitational constant G determines the intensity of gravity, the force that pulls the Earth in its orbit around the sun or…
A new technique to measure vibrating atoms could improve the precision of atomic clocks and of quantum sensors for detecting dark matter or gravitational waves….
In the last few years, astronomers have achieved an incredible milestone: the detection of gravitational waves, vanishingly weak ripples in the fabric of space and…
Deep Follow-up of GW151226 — an ordinary binary or a low-mass ratio merger? Now that we’ve been detecting gravitational waves (GWs), we’d like to better…
Gravitational waves are ripples in the curvature of spacetime caused by accelerated masses that propagate as waves at the speed of light outward from their…
New laser breakthrough to help increase understanding of gravitational waves. Scientists have created a proof-of-concept setup of a new laser eigenmode sensor that offers over…
Less than one percent of stars in a galaxy are formed with masses exceeding ten solar masses. Despite their rarity, massive stars are believed to…
