It Happened Here: LIGO installation at Hanford detects gravitational wave
The instrument is so sensitive that the Hanford device was picking up a raven pecking at the frost on the pipes that ...
Future gravitational wave observatories could see the earliest black hole mergers in the universe
In February 2016, scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) confirmed they made the first-ever detection of gravitational waves (GWs). These events occur when ...

Quantum Experiment Could Finally Reveal The Elusive Gravity Particle
The graviton – a hypothetical particle that carries the force of gravity – has eluded detection for over a century.
Researchers propose way to "see" gravity for the first time
The leading idea is that gravity arises from the exchange of hypothetical "graviton" particles, much like electromagnetism ...
Black hole or neutron star? Gravitational wave 'chirps' can tell us what becomes of dying stars
The current generation of gravitational wave detectors could "hear" supernovas over 65 million light-years away, helping ...
