Extreme cosmic events such as colliding black holes or the explosions of stars can cause ripples in spacetime, so-called ...

Cosmic particles with phenomenal energy have puzzled scientists for decades. A new theory may finally unveil their origin.

Calculations had shown that LIGO was barely at the sensitivity threshold necessary to detect gravitational waves. So in 2010, LIGO was shut down for various upgrades, to the tune of more than $200 ...

Researchers have developed an AI system capable of designing entirely new types of detectors for observing gravitational ...

India starts building a Rs 1,600 crore LIGO observatory in Maharashtra to detect gravitational waves, part of a global ...

Pune: The construction of LIGO India is finally set to start in Maharashtra's Hingoli, two years after the project was ...

Can scientists build a detector of near-Earth objects that would sense gravitational waves produced by any "dark" objects ...

A novel way to find aliens might be through gravitational wave detection, Loeb says. He is interested in laser interferometry, a technique used to measure gravitational waves. By the time they reach ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) have been investigating how an artificial intelligence system can scan an enormous area of possible designs to discover entirely ...

On August 14, the after-effects of an extreme cosmic blast rippled through you, me, and everyone we know. But you didn't feel it. The only instruments on Earth that knew the fabric of space and ...

Since the first detection in 2015 by the LIGO and Virgo collaboration, over 200 gravitational wave events have been observed. These disturbances in spacetime were predicted by Albert Einstein ...
