A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest movements of a laser beam with extreme sensitivity.
A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting "spacetime ...

The new adaptive optical devices are designed to deliver ring-like targeted heating patterns to the surface of the 34-cm-diameter core optics in LIGO to control the effect of increasing thermal ...
Orbital observatories such as the Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can see far back into the universe—so far, in fact, that they have revealed some of the earliest galaxies ...
The first experiment to measure gravitational waves from space has been given the green light by the European Space Agency (ESA). The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will use the precise ...
We suspect there are three kinds of people in the world. People who have access to a Michelson Interferometer and are glad, those who don’t have one and don’t know what one is, and a ...
