Dark matter detection closer as LIGO’s potential boosted 10,000 times
Yet one thing remains unchanged — dark matter was a mystery then, and it still is today. However, findings from a new study ...
Scientists propose a new method to search for dark matter using LIGO
A new study published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) proposes using gravitational wave detectors like LIGO to search for ...
Thought To Be Impossible: Scientists Propose Groundbreaking Method To Detect Single Gravitons
A quantum sensing experiment now has the potential to identify single gravitons — the particles that make up gravity — which ...
Scientists Might Achieve the Impossible and Actually *See* Gravity
Gravity is the only one of the four fundamental forces whose force carrier, the graviton, has never been directly observed.
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 ...

It Happened Here: LIGO installation at Hanford detects gravitational wave
On Sept. 14, 2015, the earth was rocked by a shock wave from a collision between two black holes. If you didn’t notice, don’t worry. The movement was imperceptible to humans. But it was picked ...
A New Theory Says the Universe Is Rebooting Itself
A fringe theory known as non-singular matter bouncing cosmology claims to answer these issues by suggesting that the universe ...
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 ...

LIGO gravitational waves: Black hole detectors to get upgrade
But he was proved both right and wrong 100 years later, when an international team detected them for the first time using a pair of 4km-long L-shaped machines called Advanced LIGO. Pallab Ghosh ...
