For only the second time in history, two powerful scientific tools on Earth have directly detected ripples in the fabric of space and time sent out by two colliding black holes. On Dec. 26, 2015, the ...

One, two and now three historic waves have come from deep space — confirmed again by a chirping sound that was like music to the soul for the worldwide group of scientists waiting for it. An ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory has made a third detection of gravitational waves, providing the latest confirmation that a new window in astronomy has opened. As was the case ...

Scientists on the lookout for subtle disturbances in the fabric of space-time have detected the signal from a cataclysmic collision between two black holes that lie some 3 billion light-years away, ...

Scientists at Advanced LIGO observatories in Livingston Parish and Hanford, Wash., have detected gravitational waves for the third time after two black holes collided to form a larger black hole, the ...

LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, achieved one of the holy grails of physics: by directly detecting gravitational waves for the first time. This was not an isolated event, ...

As scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory resume their search for ripples in the fabric of space-time, the awards for their discoveries continue to stack up. On Monday, ...

This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article. For the third time in a year and a half, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) ...

After decades of planning, building, prototyping, upgrading, and calibrating, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) finally achieved it's ultimate goal just a little over two ...

Scientists with the LIGO collaboration claim they have once again detected gravitational waves — the ripples in space-time produced by objects moving throughout the Universe. It’s the second time ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory has made a third detection of gravitational waves, ripples in space and time, demonstrating that a new window in astronomy has been firmly ...
