LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will be a revolutionary instrument that will allow humanity to observe ...

LISA will detect gravitational waves in the range of 0.1 mHz and 1 Hz; by comparison, LIGO operates in the frequency range spanning 10 to 1,000 Hz.

The science of studying gravitational waves just got a big boost thanks to the European Space Agency. Its science program committee just approved the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna ...

In mid-September of 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detected the first gravitational waves ever using two ground facilities—one in Hanford, Washington, and ...

The gravitational wave detector LISA, which is a collaboration between the ESA and NASA, has received the go-ahead to become the first mission to detect spacetime ripples from space.
