An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as ...
The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.
The merger wasn’t just the biggest ever, but also an event so rare that it challenges existing models for black hole genesis.
A group of Manitoba researchers were involved behind the scenes of an international effort that this week revealed the first ...
A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning “forbidden” black holes that challenge physics ...
A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever ...
The future of at least one of the U.S. LIGO observatories is in jeopardy as deep cuts to science programs are proposed by the ...
A short-lived ripple in space-time revealed that two black holes merged into a giant black hole with the mass of 225 suns ...
Gravitational wave detectors have "heard" the ripples in space caused by the most massive black hole merger yet. One ...
There are two LIGO detectors. One is in Louisiana (only 30 minutes from where I live) and the other is in Washington. Other gravitational wave detectors exist on Earth, but they were not ...
And LIGO’s second gravitational wave event, GW151226, is great for both! Essentially, on the pessimist’s side, GW151226 makes it all-but-certain that LIGO is picking up genuine gravitational ...
May 24 marked the start of O4, the latest gravitational-wave hunting effort of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration. But only LIGO is fully operational right now.
