For most of us, the mention of “technological innovation” brings to mind images of the technologies that have become useful for our everyday lives. We imagine aspiring app developers lounging about ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) detects the ripples in space-time by using a device called laser interferometer, in which the time it takes light to travel between ...

FROnt Surface Type Irradiator, or FROSTI, will allow future detectors to run at higher laser powers, reducing noise and expanding capabilities ...

The LIGO Hanford Observatory near Richland is expected to detect 60% more cataclysmic cosmic events – such as colliding neutron stars and black holes – thanks to a quantum limit breakthrough. Since ...

Note: Articles may be assigned to more than one subject area, as a result the sum of the subject research outputs may not equal the overall research outputs. Note: Hover over the donut graph to view ...

Physicists have analyzed two enormous black hole mergers that happened one month apart and have come up with tantalizing ...

Stay calm, everybody stay calm. But it’s finally happening: The European Space Agency is committing itself to the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), a gravitational wave observatory that will ...

Exail, the France-headquartered photonics company, says it has won a contract with the French Space Agency (CNES) to develop and deliver an “ultra-stable” laser system for the planned Laser ...

Gravitational-wave astronomy is growing up. These ripples in the fabric of space-time are created by accelerating masses, which then travel outward from their origin at the speed of light. While ...

EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...

Research breakthroughs are often sagas of passion, curiosity and sacrifice. If Trump’s proposed budget cuts for 2026 are enacted, many such journeys may never get started. By Dennis Overbye He helped ...
