It’s been almost a year now since the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) announced the greatest scientific discovery of 2016. Though the first gravitational waves were actually ...
Listening out: an upgrade to the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory in Hanford, Washington and Livingston, Louisiana could allow the twin detectors to spot gravitational-wave ...
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) just detected gravitational waves, ripples in time and space, for the third time. Two black holes collided, forming a huge black hole 49 ...
It was Christmas, 2015, and Fred Raab had just come home from a long day at the lab. Raab, the head of the gravitational wave observatory at Hanford, had spent the holiday tinkering with fussy ...
