Detectors like Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) use laser interferometry to measure tiny distortions in spacetime caused by passing waves.
LIGO’s adaptive optics system will push laser power beyond 1 megawatt, enhancing gravitational-wave detection and unlocking ...
A new adaptive optics technology is set to transform gravitational-wave detection, allowing LIGO and future observatories like Cosmic Explorer to reach new heights. By correcting mirror distortions, ...
Galaxies, planets, black holes: to most people, everything about our Universe sounds and feels enormous. But while it's true that much of what happens millions of light years away is large, there are ...
Gravity wave clouds form in wave-like patterns in sky, oftentimes resembling ripples in a body of water from a rock being thrown. These types of clouds are created from air in the atmosphere coming ...
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, is one of the most powerful scientific equipment for detecting gravitational waves. Covering an area of 16 square kilometers, it also ...
A team of physicists led by Jonathan Richardson of the University of California, Riverside, demonstrated how new optical ...
