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 ...

Physicists have detected the biggest ever merger of colliding black holes. The discovery has major implications for researchers’ understanding of how such bodies grow in the Universe. “It’s super ...

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves using the LIGO observatories. The powerful merger produced a ...

New research published this week confirms Stephen Hawking’s 1971 theory that the surface area of black holes never shrinks, even during a collision. An international group of scientists, ...

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 ...

Scientists say they detected the largest-ever merger of two black holes, forming one that is 225 times the mass of the sun, adding that the new discovery "pushes the limits of" how astronomers ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) of the U.S. National Science Foundation has observed a black hole collision event GW250114, providing the clearest signal to date ...

Long ago, in a galaxy far away, two black holes danced around each other, drawing ever closer until they ended in a cosmic collision that sent ripples through the fabric of spacetime. These ...
