Identifying primordial ripples would be key to understanding the conditions of the early universe.

MIT postdoc finds the angle at which we view neutron star collisions could significantly impact age measurements.

Nicholas Demos, a first-generation college graduate and MathWorks Fellow in MIT’s Kavli Institute, is improving our ability to listen to the cosmos.

MIT-led team uses AI and machine learning to explore fundamental forces.

Researchers suggest a novel process to explain the collision of a large black hole and a much smaller one.

A binary black hole merger likely produced gravitational waves equal to the energy of eight suns.

Despite the planet’s seeming standstill, graduate students continue to use LIGO to identify astrophysical events.

“Light squeezer” reduces quantum noise in lasers, could enhance quantum computing and gravitational-wave detection.

Study shows LIGO’s 40-kilogram mirrors can move in response to tiny quantum effects, revealing the “spooky popcorn of the universe.”

Danielle Frostig, a physics graduate student, is developing an instrument to study how the heaviest elements in the universe are produced.
