Nobel Prize awarded to LIGO Founders
The LIGO Laboratory, comprising LIGO Hanford, LIGO Livingston, Caltech, and MIT are excited to announce that LIGO’s three longest-standing and greatest champions have been awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics: Barry Barish and Kip Thorne of Caltech and Rainer Weiss of MIT. The announcement was made this morning by the Nobel Committee in Stockholm Sweden. First broadcast live, you can watch the
Gravitational waves from a binary black hole merger observed by LIGO and Virgo
Virgo Observatory. Credit: The Virgo Collaboration/CCO 1.0 The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo collaboration report the first joint detection of gravitational waves with both the LIGO and Virgo detectors. This is the fourth announced detection of a binary black hole system and the first significant gravitational-wave signal recorded by the Virgo detector, and highlights the scientific
GW170104 Press Release
Artist's conception shows two merging black holes similar to those detected by LIGO. The black holes—which will ultimately spiral together into one larger black hole—are illustrated to be orbiting one another in a plane. The black holes are spinning in a non-aligned fashion, which means they have different orientations relative to the overall orbital motion of the pair. There is a hint of this phe

(Credit: Caltech/MIT/LIGO Lab/Greg Grabeel) For an instrument that needs to remain as still as possible, it is ironic that the U.S. National Science Foundation Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (NSF LIGO) is so sensitive that it can feel the smallest vibrations from near and far. NSF LIGO's interferometers are

LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration Detected a Remarkable Gravitational-Wave Signal News Release • April 5, 2024 LIGO Surpasses the Quantum Limit Feature Story • October 23, 2023 New technology in operation at LIGO is tackling quantum mechanical noise, enabling LIGO to probe a larger volume of the Universe and greatly boost the observatory's ability to study the exotic events that shake space and
LIGO Detected Gravitational Waves from Black Holes
LIGO Detected Gravitational Waves from Black Holes On September 14, 2015 at 5:51 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (09:51 UTC), the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors, located in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington, USA both measured ripples in the fabric of spacetime – gravitational waves – arriving at the Earth from a cataclysmic event in the distant un
