Spain strengthens its participation in major gravitational-wave infrastructures
December 10, 2025
The Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities has allocated new funding to Spain’s participation in major international gravitational-wave infrastructures, with the Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE) designated as the institution through which these contributions will be channelled.
Results
LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA complete their richest gravitational-wave observation run to date
November 18, 2025
The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has announced the completion of O4, the most productive gravitational-wave observation run so far, yielding an unprecedented number of candidate events and high-quality data for the scientific community.
Results
LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA observed 'second generation' black holes for the first time
October 29, 2025
LVK announced the detection of two gravitational-wave signals — designated GW241011 and GW241110 — that indicate the merger of binary black holes exhibiting unusual mass ratios and spin orientations.
