“The KAGRA Collaboration is proud that, within just ten years, KAGRA was built, commissioned, and has joined the international detector network,” says Hideyuki Tagoshi from the KAGRA Collaboration.

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration has observed the most massive black hole merger ever detected via gravitational waves, creating a remnant about 225 times the Sun’s mass. The event, designated ...

Of all the places I have been, I can’t remember being asked to ride a bicycle for 3 km down a dimly lit tunnel that had water dripping – sometimes pouring – from the ceiling. But that’s what happened ...

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration unveiled several studies that shed important new light on the nature of gravitational waves—ripples in time and space produced by merging black holes and/or neutron ...

Scientists say they detected the largest-ever merger of two black holes, forming one that is 225 times the mass of the sun, adding that the new discovery "pushes the limits of" how astronomers ...

After a prolonged absence from the gravitational-wave-detection scene, the massive LIGO project is back up and running. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) works in ...

The newly operational KAGRA will bump the number of gravitational-wave observatories to four, which will allow scientists to better triangulate the source of ripples in space-time. Deep underground, ...

While the first observation of a black hole swallowing a neutron star had been published previously, GWTC-3 contains one more such event. “In O3b we discovered GW191219_163120, a merger signal, which ...
