Perla Figuereo, the 2021 student body president, took home a $4.5 million prize earlier this month after winning the second ...

In a new paper published today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration reports on the detection of two gravitational wave events in October and November ...

LIGO's 2015 detection confirmed Einstein's theory and sparked a decade of data. Upgraded LIGOs now detect black hole mergers every three days with precision. New 2025 findings confirmed Hawking’s ...

Louisiana is known for many things — music, arts, culture, food. But chances are that, outside a highly specialized community, it is not recognized as a hub of physics experimentation.Yet that’s ...

On September 14, 2015, a signal arrived on Earth, carrying information about a pair of remote black holes that had spiraled together and merged. The signal had traveled about 1.3 billion years to ...

Ten years after the historic discovery of gravitational waves, and having spotted hundreds more of these space-time swells since then, physicists say they are only just getting started. On 14 ...

Ten years after LIGO’s historical detection of gravitational waves, the project is cracking black hole mysteries at an astounding pace. Reading time 4 minutes LIGO’s discovery of gravitational ...

Ten years ago, astronomers made an epic discovery with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Cosmology hasn’t been the same since, and it might not stay that way much longer. Out ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, has already won its researchers a Nobel Prize — and now artificial intelligence is poised to take LIGO’s search for cosmic collisions ...

LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, has been called the most precise ruler in the world for its ability to measure motions more than 10,000 times smaller than the width of a ...

Efforts to understand the universe could get a boost from an AI developed by Google DeepMind. The algorithm, which can reduce unwanted noise by up to 100 times, could allow the Laser Interferometer ...

Physicist who won a Nobel Prize for LIGO Hanford observatory in Eastern WA died. LIGO confirmed Einstein’s theory of relativity by detecting gravitational waves in 2015. Twin LIGO sites in WA and LA ...
