A team of physicists, led by Jonathan Richardson from the University of California, Riverside, has made a breakthrough in ...

As LIGO and Virgo keep increasing their sensitivity and new third generation detectors come online, our method will provide more detailed insights into the genealogy of the black holes we observe ...

Weiss and Thorne are pioneers of the LIGO project, while Barish took the lead in completing it. Gravitational waves from the black hole collision 1.3 billion years ago were detected on Sept.

The network will enhance a field of science born just four years ago, when the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) solved a 100-year-old mystery posed by Albert Einstein.
