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 about 11 years, one of humankind’s most ambitious missions is set to launch into space. Decades in the making, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, or LISA, could revolutionize our understanding ...

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 ...

The first experiment to measure gravitational waves from space has been given the green light by the European Space Agency (ESA). The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will use the precise ...
