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

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

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 ...

This poses an interesting astronomical challenge. Right now, our gravitational wave observatories can only see the last moments of a black hole or neutron star merger. What is known as the chirp ...

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

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

14, 2015, by twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors in Louisiana and Washington sates, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration team said in February 2016. The team ...

University of Colorado Boulder astrophysicist Jeremy Darling is pursuing a new way of measuring the universe's gravitational wave background -- the constant flow of waves that churn through the ...

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 ...
