EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...

The recent detection of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) came from two black holes, each about 30 times the mass of our sun, merging into one.

Space might seem calm when gazing up at the night sky, but invisible waves ripple continuously through the universe, bending space and time. These waves, known as gravitational waves, carry crucial ...

Humanity's first space-based gravitational wave detector has received the go-ahead. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, which consists of three spacecraft that together form a ...

Last month, work began on the world’s first space-based gravitational wave detector. The European Space Agency and partner aerospace companies are developing orbiting, detector spacecraft to observe ...

Scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology anticipate ushering in the era of gravitational wave astronomy within the decade as part of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or ...

The breakthrough, possibly the biggest in physics in a century, could be the key to new understanding of the universe. The discovery has been made with the use of the Laser Interferometer ...

One of the most spectacular achievements in physics so far this century has been the observation of gravitational waves, ripples in space-time that result from masses accelerating in space. So far, ...

The very fabric of the universe is ringing with gravitational waves from its earliest epoch, and researchers have finally "heard" this cosmic symphony. On Thursday, June 28, the North American ...

WASHINGTON – In an announcement that electrified the world of astronomy, scientists said Thursday that they have finally detected gravitational waves, the ripples in the fabric of space-time that ...

A team from Côte d’Azur University developed a machine learning algorithm that can detect and interpret gravity waves produced by seismic events at the speed of light. Share on Facebook (opens in a ...
