The idea of a lightsail comes from the fact that radiation pressure represents a mechanical pressure acting on a surface due ...

Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...

TEGO revolutionizes gravitational wave detection with its tetrahedral spacecraft formation, improving sensitivity and ...

On September 14, 2015, for the first time ever, the Laser-Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detected a ripple in spacetime. This breakthrough moment—one Albert Einstein once ...

The source emits a laser beam which hits the beam splitter ... and hit the detector. This is what our actual interferometer setup looked like. For reasons that will be explained later, our target is a ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new, unsupervised machine learning approach to find new patterns in the auxiliary channel data of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory.

Scientists at the University of California, Riverside, have developed an unsupervised machine learning tool that identifies ...

In a traditional laser interferometer, light from a laser source is split into two beams, one of which is directed to the test surface and the other to a high-quality reference. The light ...

Neutron stars, the dense remains of massive stars that have exploded in supernovae, are some of the most fascinating objects ...
