Physicists Develop New Method to Detect Tiny Fluctuations in Spacetime
Physicists at the University of Warwick have developed a new framework to detect tiny spacetime fluctuations known as “quantum foam,” a long-standing prediction of quantum gravity theories. The study maps different types of spacetime noise to measurable signals in interferometers such as LIGO and smaller laboratory setups. By translating abstra...

New Study Explores How LIGO-Style Lasers Could Test Quantum Gravity
Gravitational waves, first directly detected in 2015, have opened a new way of observing the universe. Now, physicist Ralf Schützhold of HZDR proposes going a step further—actively interacting with these ripples in spacetime using powerful lasers. His theoretical scheme builds on LIGO-style interferometers, where intense laser pulses bounce repe...

Technology Day: PM Modi To Lay Foundation Of Gravity Observatory LIGO-India Tomorrow
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory India (LIGO-India) on Thursday, when the country celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Pokhran-II nuclear tests.

First Black Hole With 'Intermediate Mass' Discovered, Oldest Ever Detected
Scientists announced Wednesday the discovery of a black hole -- the oldest ever detected -- that shouldn't even exist according to the current understanding of cosmic monsters so dense not even light can escape their gravitational pull.

LIGO Detects Gravitational Waves for Third Time as Two Black Holes Merge
As was the case with the first two detections, the waves were generated when two black holes merged to form a larger black hole.

Observatory For Gravitational Waves Back Online, Set To Detect More Waves
The twin detectors of LIGO - which made the first ever direct detection of gravitational waves - have been restarted and scientists expect to detect more black hole mergers from farther out in the universe.

Second Set Of Gravitational Waves Merging Black Holes Detected
For the second time, scientists have directly detected gravitational waves created by the collision of two black holes 1.4 billion light years away, which once again confirms Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Gravitational Waves Detected for Second Time, Say LIGO Researchers
Researchers announced they had found the waves a second time in December, produced by the collision of two black holes some 1.4 billion years ago.

Lisa Pathfinder Opens 'New Window to the Universe': Study
Announcing early results, delighted scientists said Pathfinder's performance raised hopes that LISA will contribute to proving core predictions of Einstein's theory.
