A new method to analyze gravitational-wave data could transform how we study some of the universe's most extreme events—black ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015 ...

The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever ...

The LIGO Hanford Observatory near the Tri-Cities and its twin in Louisiana detected ripples of time and space passing through ...

Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely ...

A short-lived ripple in space-time revealed that two black holes merged into a giant black hole with the mass of 225 suns ...

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

The proposed next generation of gravitational wave detectors will require hundreds of kilometers of ultrahigh vacuum beam ...

Two colossal black holes among the most massive ever seen collided in deep space, creating gravitational waves that rippled across the cosmos and shook the foundations of astrophysical theory.

“It’s the most massive [merger] so far,” says Mark Hannam, a physicist at Cardiff University, UK, and part of the LVK ...

The most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves have been detected by the LIGO Hanford and Livingston ...
