From a telescope network that spans much of the globe to a psychology study that spans 67 countries, here are the biggest ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a huge installation measured in kilometers that is listening for wrinkles in space-time. Pulling this off is a true story of ...

Prototype suspension system for Advanced LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory) gravitational wave detector with dummy metal test masses. Made by Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, ...

It's the second time the international Ligo-Virgo collaboration of laser labs has picked up such a signal. What makes this one different, though, is the combined mass of the two merging neutron ...

The network will enhance a field of science born just four years ago, when the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) solved a 100-year-old mystery posed by Albert Einstein.

That’s what happened when it came to detecting gravitational waves for the first time, which the LIGO (Laser Interferometer ...

The interferometer follows the same principles as the existing, ground-based LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) experiment that first detected gravitational waves in 2015.

The LIGO collaboration will only solve this triangulation ... The German physicist and computer expert built one of the first laser interferometers - the instruments now used to detect ...
