Physicists have detected the biggest ever merger of colliding black holes. The discovery has major implications for researchers’ understanding of how such bodies grow in the Universe. “It’s super ...
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves, using the US National Science Foundation-funded (NSF) LIGO ...
LIVINGSTON PARISH, La. (WAFB) - A decade ago, researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detected ripples in the fabric of the universe, confirming the existence of ...
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) has seen over 300 black hole mergers in its short time in operation, and now it’s seen an event so large—and so rare—that it challenges ...
Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely forged by earlier smash-ups fused into a 225-solar-mass titan, GW231123. The ...
