LIGO's 2015 detection confirmed Einstein's theory and sparked a decade of data. Upgraded LIGOs now detect black hole mergers every three days with precision. New 2025 findings confirmed Hawking’s ...
The LIGO Hanford Observatory near Richland is expected to detect 60% more cataclysmic cosmic events — like colliding neutron stars and black holes — thanks to a quantum limit breakthrough. Since the ...
Physicist who won a Nobel Prize for LIGO Hanford observatory in Eastern WA died. LIGO confirmed Einstein’s theory of relativity by detecting gravitational waves in 2015. Twin LIGO sites in WA and LA ...
Senate bill includes funding to keep both U.S. LIGO observatories operational. LIGO confirmed 300 gravitational wave events since Nobel-honored 2015 discovery. Sen. Murray worked to save LIGO by ...
After a three-year hiatus, scientists in the US have just turned on detectors capable of measuring gravitational waves—tiny ripples in space itself that travel through the universe. Unlike light waves ...
