A team of researchers just introduced a new way of detecting gravitational wave sources that they posit could vastly improve precision of detections and expedite the detection of such enigmatic ...

The 2015 observation was made by the detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), split across two US sites, in Hanford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana.

Binary neutron star mergers occur millions of light-years away from Earth. Interpreting the gravitational waves they produce presents a major challenge for traditional data-analysis methods.

Locating sources of gravitational waves using artificial intelligence could enable astronomers to point telescopes at stellar mergers before they happen. The gargantuan collision of two neutron ...
