This artwork imagines the ultimate front-row seat for GW250114, a powerful collision between two black holes observed in gravitational waves by the US National Science Foundation LIGO. It depicts the ...

LIGO Hanford detected record-setting black hole merger, challenging current knowledge. Merged black holes spun near general relativity’s limit, baffling scientists. Funding cuts threaten U.S.

Louisiana is known for many things — music, arts, culture, food. But chances are that, outside a highly specialized community, it is not recognized as a hub of physics experimentation.Yet that’s ...

Scientists believe if the Trump administration's proposed budget is approved, a Louisiana space observatory could be on the chopping block and see its scientific mission crippled. The Trump ...

It took less than a second for the space observatory hidden in Louisiana woods to detect the most massive black hole ever observed. Only one tenth of a second to be exact. That's how long it took for ...

LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, has been called the most precise ruler in the world for its ability to measure motions more than 10,000 times smaller than the width of a ...
