TELSTARS were put under pressure by a resilient Mystics side in the Port Moresby netball premier division clash at the Rita ...

Scientists have observed a new type of black hole that is too heavy to have been born from a star but still too slim to … The ...

In a new study, physicists propose that superconducting magnets from dark matter experiments that are originally designed to ...

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 detected the first-ever confirmed gravitational waves in 2016. Around the same time, its operators were thinking about ways to weed out the quantum disturbances.

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.

LIGO changed that. Last year, the collaboration announced that its twin detectors had picked up a passing distortion in late 2015 caused by two black holes crashing into each other.

As LIGO's sensitivity becomes better and better, and as more detectors come online, our capabilities allow us to detect more of these waves, and the cataclysmic events that generate them, ...

LIGO can only see the most powerful of these—caused by very massive objects undergoing extreme acceleration—and those only within a certain frequency range. Still, it’s worth asking what ...

The LIGO detectors in the states were meant to be joined by a third, the Virgo detector, which is located near Pisa, Italy. However, that detector wasn’t ready to go operational, ...

Cities, the Vera C. Rubin and LIGO observatories reveal cosmic secrets, one capturing light and the other listening for the ...
