LISA is the major ESA scientific mission that will observe the Universe by detecting the gravitational waves that traverse it ...

FROSTI is a new adaptive optics system that precisely corrects distortions in LIGO’s mirrors caused by extreme laser power.

"If this turns out to be real, then it’s enormous." ...

The researchers in a recent breakthrough have developed revolutionary and full-scale prototype instrumentation FROSTI, also ...

After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of measuring gravitational waves—tiny ripples in space itself that travel through the universe. Unlike light ...

In a discovery that began generating excitement on social media before it was even announced, scientists have detected rippling gravitational waves more powerful than any identified before. The news ...

The universe occasionally produces a huge surprise that proves physicists wrong, says Kip Thorne, who grew up in Logan, Utah, ...

The BlackGEM array, consisting of three new telescopes at the European Southern Observatory’s La Silla Observatory in Chile, has begun operations. This photograph shows the three open domes of the ...

Einstein's general relativity predicted gravitational waves generated by massive object collisions, propagating at the speed of light and carrying information about their origin. Computational ...

Decades ago physicists realized that gravitational waves are no mere passing phenomenon. Instead those ripples in space should leave behind permanent marks: a fixed distortion in their wake. So far ...
