Ultra-low frequency nanohertz gravitational waves emanating from pulsars may be revealing the fabric of the universe.

FROnt Surface Type Irradiator, or FROSTI, will allow future detectors to run at higher laser powers, reducing noise and ...

Gravity waves are oscillatory disturbances generated by the restoring force of buoyancy in a stably stratified atmosphere. They play a central role in transferring energy and momentum between ...

UW-Milwaukee physics and astronomy assistant professor Lia Medeiros explains gravitational waves and the role UWM played in discovering them.

Due to come online later this year and packed with state-of-the-art optics, Advanced LIGO is aiming for a direct detection of gravitational waves that will open a new window on the universe, say Iain ...

"GW250114 is the loudest gravitational wave event we have detected to date; it was like a whisper becoming a shout." The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is celebrating 10 ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have dreamed of seeing the hidden patterns that govern the motion of nonlinear waves—the ...
