LISA is set to revolutionize our understanding of the gravitational universe and the interactions that make the entire cosmos ...

A decade ago, physicists using twin detectors in Washington State and Louisiana detected gravitational waves—subtle ripples ...

On September 14, 2015, for the first time ever, the Laser-Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detected a ripple in spacetime. This breakthrough moment—one Albert Einstein once ...

The Verifire™ Laser Interferometer provides flatness metrology and surface form of optical components and wavefront of optical systems and subassemblies like windows, lenses, mirrors, prisms—and even ...

Six intersecting orthogonal laser beams and a pair of anti-Helmholtz coils form a magneto-optical trap Most atom interferometer experiments seem to operate similarly, in that they all depend upon ...

TEGO revolutionizes gravitational wave detection with its tetrahedral spacecraft formation, improving sensitivity and ...

Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves, first proposed by Albert Einstein 110 ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new, unsupervised machine learning approach to find new patterns in the auxiliary channel data of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Finding ...

Caltech scientists are developing laser-driven lightsails that could push spacecraft beyond our solar system. Their research ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a huge installation measured in kilometers that is listening for wrinkles in space-time. Pulling this off is a true story of ...
