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, ...

The National Science Foundation’s LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) is set to resume its hunt for gravitational waves — ripples in space and time — on April 1, after receiving ...

Installation of in-vacuum equipment as a part of the squeezed-light upgrade before Advanced LIGO’s third observing run. LIGO team members install in-vacuum equipment that is part of the squeezed-light ...

Gravitational-wave astronomy is growing up. These ripples in the fabric of space-time are created by accelerating masses, which then travel outward from their origin at the speed of light. While ...

After a whirlwind tour of press conferences, parties and awards following their Feb. 11 announcement of the world’s first direct detection of gravitational waves, the team of scientists at the Laser ...

Researchers report a significant advance in quantum squeezing, which allows them to measure undulations in space-time across the entire range of gravitational frequencies detected by LIGO. In 2015, ...

The LIGO Hanford Observatory near Richland is expected to detect 60% more cataclysmic cosmic events — like colliding neutron stars and black holes — thanks to a quantum limit breakthrough. Since the ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new, unsupervised machine learning approach to find new patterns in the auxiliary channel data of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Finding ...
