#Gravitational wave

Source: Neatorama Ripples or disturbances in space-time called gravitational waves have been theorized by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity but they have only been recently detected, confirming their existence. The first instance was in August 2016 which was recorded by

Author: Emily Conover / Source: Science News It’s open season in scientists’ hunt for gravitational waves. A trio of detectors are back on the lookout for the ripples in spacetime. And the newly souped-up machines could make this the most productive search yet. The two detectors of the Advanced

Author: Emily Conover / Source: Science News In the quest for better gravitational wave detectors, scientists are going cold. An up-and-coming detector called KAGRA aims to spot spacetime ripples by harnessing advanced technological twists: chilling key components to temperatures hovering just

Author: Emily Conover / Source: Science News Astronomers have now tallied up more gravitational wave sightings than they can count on their fingers. Scientists with the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave observatories report four new sets of these ripples in spacetime. Those additions bring the
