Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory India (LIGO-India) on Thursday, when the country celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Pokhran-II nuclear tests.

LIGO-India will significantly enhance scientists' ability to pinpoint the sources of gravitational waves -- ripples in the fabric of space and time -- and answer fundamental questions about the universe, experts say.

Astrophysicists have found new 39 gravitational-wave events caused by collision of black holes and neutron stars far in the universe. These, along with previously observed 11 events, will help them understand the population of black holes and neutron stars across the universe.

Scientists announced Wednesday the discovery of a black hole -- the oldest ever detected -- that shouldn't even exist according to the current understanding of cosmic monsters so dense not even light can escape their gravitational pull.

An Indian scientist in the US has said he and his friends were denied entry at a garba event in Atlanta. The scientist and his friends, who had gone to celebrate Navratri, were allegedly told by the organisers that they don't "look Hindu" and that their last names don't "sound Hindu".

ESA's Science Program Committee announced the selection of the three-spacecraft constellation LISA this week.

As was the case with the first two detections, the waves were generated when two black holes merged to form a larger black hole.

The twin detectors of LIGO - which made the first ever direct detection of gravitational waves - have been restarted and scientists expect to detect more black hole mergers from farther out in the universe.

Maharashtra's Hingoli district has been chosen for carrying out experiments on the ambitious LIGO project that proved existence of gravitational waves, a major breakthrough in science.

The team from MIT and Australian National University report on improvements to what is called a squeezed vacuum source.

For the second time, scientists have directly detected gravitational waves created by the collision of two black holes 1.4 billion light years away, which once again confirms Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Researchers announced they had found the waves a second time in December, produced by the collision of two black holes some 1.4 billion years ago.

Announcing early results, delighted scientists said Pathfinder's performance raised hopes that LISA will contribute to proving core predictions of Einstein's theory.

Two different papers have been published recently suggesting that LIGO may have stumbled upon the solution to the enduring mystery of dark matter.

The Breakthrough Prizes were created by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner along with several technology pioneers.
