The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to scientists in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration who discovered gravitational waves. Software tools developed by researchers at Berkeley Lab’s Computational Research Division played a key role in enabling the analysis of the vast quantities of data generated by LIGO.

Researchers expect more gravitational-wave evidence of collisions in the near future
Scientists at Berkeley Lab have developed new computer models to explore what happens when a black hole joins with a neutron star – the superdense remnant of an exploded star.
