For most of us, the mention of “technological innovation” brings to mind images of the technologies that have become useful for our everyday lives. We imagine aspiring app developers lounging about ...

Scientists at the world's largest gravitational wave observatory have just squeezed light beyond a key quantum limit. The new technique, called frequency-dependent squeezing, will increase the number ...

EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...

Last month, work began on the world’s first space-based gravitational wave detector. The European Space Agency and partner aerospace companies are developing orbiting, detector spacecraft to observe ...

In 2015, a piece of equipment at an observatory in the US moved one quintillionth (10-18) of a meter. This tiny movement was the first recorded event of gravitational waves. And it helped confirm ...

"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 ...

The newly detected gravitational wave background could be the result of supermassive black hole binaries that orbit each other for a few million years before merging. By now you’ll have seen the news ...

Stay calm, everybody stay calm. But it’s finally happening: The European Space Agency is committing itself to the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), a gravitational wave observatory that will ...

The very fabric of the universe is ringing with gravitational waves from its earliest epoch, and researchers have finally "heard" this cosmic symphony. On Thursday, June 28, the North American ...
