The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, is one of the most powerful scientific equipment for detecting gravitational waves. Covering an area of 16 square kilometers ...

As I sat in a lecture hall five years ago, learning about everything from galaxies to dark matter, I was intrigued by how ...

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 ...

"We are in an era where machines can discover new super-human solutions in science, and the task of humans is to understand ...

A novel way to find aliens might be through gravitational wave detection, Loeb says. He is interested in laser interferometry ...

Dr. Mario Krenn, head of the research group Artificial Scientist Lab at MPL, in collaboration with the team of LIGO ("Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory"), who built those ...

After nearly a decade of planning, lobbying, and fine-tuning, the Indian government has greenlit the full-scale construction of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory-India (LIGO ...

Illustration of the first gravitational wave event observed by LIGO. The detected wave forms from LIGO Hanford (orange) and LIGO Livingston (blue) are superimposed beneath illustrations of the ...

which would not be detectable by an existing gravitational wave detector like LIGO, but we might be able to build one that can. Ultimately we’d be acting on conjecture on what a warp bubble ...

Magnetar flares, colossal cosmic explosions, may be directly responsible for the creation and distribution of heavy elements across the universe, suggests a new study.

The researchers applied their machine learning model to synthetic and real gravitational wave data from LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA detectors. They found that the precision in spin measurements of ...
