Deborah Ferguson (UT Austin), Bhavesh Khamesra (Georgia Tech), and Karan Jani (Vanderbilt University). After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the U.S. have just turned on detectors capable of ...
Three physicists, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Rainer Weiss and California Institute of Technology’s Barry Barish and Kip Thorne, have been awarded the Nobel Physics Prize this ...
The Indian government has granted the final approvals necessary for construction to begin on LIGO-India, a nearly identical version of the twin LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave ...
In India, scientists are building a new LIGO detector, enhancing the capabilities of the observatory that reported the first observation of gravitational waves. In 2011, three physicists embarked upon ...
In 2015, a century-old prediction by Einstein was finally proven correct, as gravitational waves were detected for the first time. Now, the facilities behind this discovery – the Laser Interferometer ...
In a little over a year the LIGO Hanford Observatory near Richland expects to open a new center, where students and the public can learn about gravitational waves at the place where their existence ...
Detector engineers Hugh Radkins (foreground) and Betsy Weaver (background) take up positions inside the vacuum system of the detector at LIGO Hanford Observatory to perform the hardware upgrades ...
In 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), made history when it made the first direct detection of gravitational waves—ripples in space and time—produced by a pair of ...
The Indian government has granted the final approvals necessary for construction to begin on LIGO-India, a nearly identical version of the twin LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave ...
A look at the technology that creates squeezed light in LIGO's vacuum chamber. The picture was taken from one of the chamber's viewports at a time when the squeezer was operational and pumped with ...
