As gravitational wave detectors become more advanced, tracing their principles and history can engage undergraduate students with modern physics.

First detected in 2015, gravitational waves may not have had a direct hand in human evolution, but it certainly helped set ...

In 2015, a piece of equipment at an observatory in the US moved one quintillionth (10-18) of a meter. This tiny movement was ...

These detectors rely on interferometry, a method based on the superposition of light waves. A team from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light has developed Urania, an AI capable of ...

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

Time-Delay Interferometry (TDI) is a cornerstone technique for space-based gravitational wave detection, primarily designed to suppress laser frequency ...

Gravitational wave detectors based on laser interferometry have reached an incredible level of sensitivity. But to develop to the level needed to explore the Universe, the next generation of ...

Jeremy Darling from the University of Colorado Boulder proposes an original approach to measure the gravitational wave ...

That’s where the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) comes into play, which uses miles-long L-shaped detectors to make reading those waves possible. Jackie explains that a ...
