String theory is the most well known candidate for a theory of everything — a mathematical framework that would meld the ...

NASA has unveiled a prototype of six telescopes that in the years ahead will be part of a first-of-its kind mission to study a cosmic phenomenon that could hold clues about some of the universe's ...

LISA Pathfinder was sent into orbit in 2015 to prove key technologies that could be used on some future project to detect gravitational waves - the ripples that disturb space-time whenever black ...

A contract to build the Constellation Acquisition Sensor (CAS) instrument for an innovative ESA mission is awarded to a UK ...

Exploring novel data analysis methods for the detection and parameter estimation of gravitational waves observed by detectors like LIGO and LISA. As with many discoveries, it opens more questions than ...

The European Space Agency has just given the green light to the LISA mission to detect gravitational waves. This will see lasers bounced between three identical satellites separated by 2.5 million km.

CCSN gravitational waves would be especially useful because ... the proposed space-based Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) are better because they have better sensitivity in the lower ...

The technique also requires prior information about an incoming gravitational wave, which could be obtained using proposed space-based detectors like LISA. "This dynamic tracking technique ...

In a breakthrough, scientists have mapped the invisible ripples in spacetime caused by massive objects like black holes.

What will be one of the most ambitious and most expensive space missions ever mounted by Europe has just been given the formal green light. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (Lisa) will try ...
