by Eleonora CAPOCASA (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan) Three 2nd generation gravitational-wave detectors (the two LIGO and Virgo) are about to come online again, in an upgraded version, for a new data-taking period. The increased sensitivity of the network is expected to result in a higher rate of detections with louder signals so as to enter a mature phase of […]

On Saturday 1st December 2018, scientists attending the Gravitational Wave Physics and Astronomy Workshop in College Park, Maryland, presented new results from searches for coalescing cosmic objects, such as pairs of black holes and pairs of neutron stars, by the LIGO and Virgo detectors. The LIGO and Virgo interferometers have now confidently detected gravitational waves from a total of 10 […]

RETROSPECTIVE. Correctly predicting the strength of an earthquake takes time, with the risk of underestimating the magnitude of the phenomenon. A new technique, based on changes in the gravitational field during an earthquake, seems promising. It could deliver results in just a few minutes, and could save lives. Earthquakes are the only completely unpredictable natural phenomena on earth. Although unpredictable, […]
