Gravitational waves
A quantum light squeezer to reduce quantum noise
An MIT-designed miniature “squeezer” reduces quantum noise in lasers at room temperature. The marble-sized system could enable better laser precision for quantum computing and gravitational-wave detection.
New quantum detector to mid-frequency gravitational waves
A new study by the UCL, University of Groningen, and the University of Warwick offers details on how state-of-the-art quantum technologies and experimental techniques...
Gravitational waves could be leaving persistent traces of their passing
Gravitational waves are 'ripples' in space-time caused by some of the most violent and energetic processes in the Universe. Transient in nature, some scientists...
Scientists uncover new properties of black holes
The National Science Foundation’s LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) and the European-based VIRGO gravitational wave detectors have detected gravitational waves from a total of 10...
We might be able to transfer data through gravitational waves
Gravitational waves are 'ripples' in the fabric of space-time caused by some of the most violent and energetic processes in the Universe. Gravitational waves are...
Illuminating the dark matter with gravitational waves
Using Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), a team of astronomers at the University of Zurich have observed gravitational waves emitted by black holes. These shock...
All in the family: Kin of gravitational wave source discovered
On October 16, 2017, a universal group of astronomers and physicists energetically revealed the first simulations detection of light and gravitational waves from a...
Gravitational waves provide dose of reality about extra dimensions
The earlier discovery of gravitational waves from colliding neutron stars was groundbreaking. But it fails to add extra dimensions to our understanding of the universe.
A new...
Scientists finally calculated the speed of Gravity
Recently, scientists made groundbreaking detections that allowed them to see that gravity does not act instantaneously as Newton thought; instead, it propagates at the speed...
Astronomers Strike Gravitational Gold In Colliding Neutron Stars
Out of the blue, scientists captured two neutron stars in the act of colliding. This discovery has solved a long-standing mystery about the origin of the...
