An international team of scientists, including physics and astronomy Prof. Shane Larson, will construct a new gravitational wave detector with the European Space Agency over the next 10 years, the ...

After detection, there's a small window of time within which follow-up, light-based astronomy observations can be made. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission ...

"So far we have been watching the cosmos like a silent movie, capturing the ripples of spacetime with LISA will be a real game-changer, like when sound was added to motion pictures." When you purchase ...

In 2017, astronomers witnessed the birth of a black hole for the first time. Gravitational wave detectors picked up the ripples in spacetime caused by two neutron stars colliding to form the black ...

Researchers from the UAB, IFAE and University College London propose using the variations in distance between the Earth and the Moon, which can be measured with a precision of less than a centimeter, ...

Gravitational wave detectors rely on exquisitely sensitive optical systems, where mirror coatings play a critical role. In these systems, coating thermal noise – originating from intrinsic mechanical ...
