The detection was awesome, but let's look at the name of the detector for a second: Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (maybe I should call it LIGWO). LIGO is first and foremost ...

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’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’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 ...

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 ...

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, 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.

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.

This black hole merger animation was created using data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors, an ...

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