LIGO’s 20-month observation run 04 will officially start on May 24, and it will later be joined by Virgo and a new Japanese observatory—the Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector, or KAGRA.

LIGO researchers are particularly excited for the new upgrade, however, because this pushes the instrument beyond what is called the "quantum limit" — a first for a gravitational wave detector.

LIGO’s 20-month observation run 04 officially started on May 24, and it will later be joined by Virgo and a new Japanese observatory—the Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector, or KAGRA. While there are ...

LIGO’s 20-month observation run 04 will officially start on May 24, and it will later be joined by Virgo and a new Japanese observatory – the Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector, or KAGRA.

However, that detector wasn’t ready to go operational, though they are hoping to have it up and running by the fall. The goal of all of these gravitational wave detectors is to detect and ...

A team of researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), in the U.S., has developed what they describe as a squeezed light system to improve detection sensitivity.

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection ...

LIGO’s 20-month observation run 04 will officially start on May 24, and it will later be joined by Virgo and a new Japanese observatory – the Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector, or KAGRA.

Gravitational wave detector now squeezes light to find more black holes The cutting-edge move has boosted the cosmic collisions LIGO can hear by up to 70 percent. By Rahul Rao ...

LIGO, or the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory, was completed in 2000. However, it didn't see any gravitational waves in its first ten-year cycle.

The twin gravitational-wave detectors have started a new observation run after a major upgrade. ... Gravitational-wave detector LIGO is back — and can now spot more colliding black holes than ever.

LIGO's 20-month observation run 04 will officially start on May 24, and it will later be joined by Virgo and a new Japanese observatory — the Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector, or KAGRA.
