An international team of researchers led by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has shed light on a ...

In January 2025, a ripple in spacetime reached Earth from more than a billion light-years away. It wasn’t light or radio ...

FROnt Surface Type Irradiator, or FROSTI, will allow future detectors to run at higher laser powers, reducing noise and ...

Ten years after the first detection of gravitational waves, scientists have captured the clearest signal yet — and it confirms one of Stephen Hawking’s most famous predictions. Using the upgraded LIGO ...

Learn more about black holes and what causes them to ring. A massive new study adds evidence to theories by Einstein, Hawking ...

UW-Milwaukee physics and astronomy assistant professor Lia Medeiros explains gravitational waves and the role UWM played in discovering them.

We previously covered such “gravity telescopes” with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA). These early 2 nd generation of ...

Researchers have built a small but powerful detector to find gravitational waves in a hidden frequency range. The discovery could expose unseen black hole activity and early-universe echoes.

A strange chirp detected by LIGO in 2019 has some scientists searching for answers beyond a simple black hole merger.
