Glasgow University scientists have developed a new dance mimicking ripples of spacetime first theorised by Albert Enstein.

New research is shedding light on what researchers call "lite" intermediate-mass black holes, which are smaller, but still ...

This means LIGO would be able to detect gravitational waves even from merging neutron stars that are about 4 megaparsecs (roughly 13 million light-years) farther away than before.

Even a temporary shutdown will delay scientific progress and result in America losing ground to international researchers.

LIGO’s two experimental ears—one in Louisiana, another in Washington state—listen to ripples in space-time left behind by objects that include black holes and neutron stars.

LIGO researchers are particularly excited for the new upgrade, however, because this pushes the instrument beyond what is called the "quantum limit" — a first for a gravitational wave detector.

Trump administration proposes closing LIGO Hanford or LIGO Livingston, jeopardizing cutting-edge gravitational wave research near Tri-Cities, Washington.

Scientists believe if the Trump administration's proposed budget is approved, the Louisiana LIGO could be on the chopping block and "would cripple our scientific mission." ...

LIGO is a U.S. science megaproject built to detect ripples in spacetime known as gravitational waves. The ones we can detect are largely created by the mergers of black holes and neutron stars ...

LIGO, a state-of-the-art gravitational wave detector, is finally up and operational again after a three year hiatus.

LIGO researchers at MIT, Caltech, and elsewhere report a significant advance in quantum squeezing, which allows them to measure undulations in space-time across the entire range of gravitational ...
