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 ...

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

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