Performance is dependent on the analysis and production of exceptionally smooth surfaces in optics and semiconductors, among ...

Unraveling the cosmic symphony of gravitational waves, from the 'Music of the Spheres' to moon-based detectors.

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

A research team led by Professor Cheol Song at the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering, Daegu Gyeongbuk ...

Scientists in the United States have discovered the biggest-known merger of two black holes using gravitational wave detectors. The scientific findings from the collision, which was recorded in ...

Exoplanets aren't the only objects floating around other stars—they likely have comets and asteroids as well. Even some of ...

Ten years ago, astronomers made an epic discovery with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Cosmology hasn’t been the same since, and it might not stay that way much longer.

On September 14, 2015, a signal arrived on Earth, carrying information about a pair of remote black holes that had spiraled ...

In a preprint titled “Can LIGO Detect Daylight Savings Time?,” Reed Essick, former LIGO member and now a physicist at the ...

Astronomers have discovered the raw ingredients of planets orbiting two infant stars, offering a glimpse into how new worlds take shape. These building blocks, called “pebbles,” are tiny solid chunks ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) uses lasers and mirrors to look for black holes across the ...
