For most of us, the mention of “technological innovation” brings to mind images of the technologies that have become useful for our everyday lives. We imagine aspiring app developers lounging about ...

Scientists at the world's largest gravitational wave observatory have just squeezed light beyond a key quantum limit. The new technique, called frequency-dependent squeezing, will increase the number ...

Gravitational Waves were only first observed in 2015, captured via instruments at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory. This is going to change the way we look at physics forever, ...

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 ...

The first-time detection of Gravitational Waves (GW) by researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2015 triggered a revolution in astronomy. This phenomenon ...

The universe occasionally produces a huge surprise that proves physicists wrong, says Kip Thorne, who grew up in Logan, Utah, ...

On May 24 the National Science Foundation–funded Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) will resume its hunt for gravitational waves—tiny, periodic variations in the curvature of ...

Last month, work began on the world’s first space-based gravitational wave detector. The European Space Agency and partner aerospace companies are developing orbiting, detector spacecraft to observe ...

After a prolonged absence from the gravitational-wave-detection scene, the massive LIGO project is back up and running. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) works in ...

The newly detected gravitational wave background could be the result of supermassive black hole binaries that orbit each other for a few million years before merging. By now you’ll have seen the news ...
