Researchers have designed a new type of gravitational wave detector that operates in the milli-Hertz range, a region untouched by current observatories. Built with optical resonators and atomic clocks ...

The Clearest Signal Yet Detected The event, dubbed GW250114, became known in January when researchers spotted it with the ...

Hard to believe it has been 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves. Back then, on Sept. 14, 2015, at 5:51 a.m., it had been 100 years since Albert Einstein predicted gravitational ...

Sept. 14, 2015, was one of the most important days in science history. It marked the first-ever detection of gravitational waves, tiny ripples in space-time (the four-dimensional union of space and ...

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 ...

The younger black hole, the product of a cataclysmic cosmic event known as a black hole merger, was first spotted in 2019. Now, about 6 years later, a team of international researchers led by the ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By transferring minute amounts of energy between light and gravity, the interaction ...
