The Tetrahedron Constellation Gravitational Wave Observatory would consist of four satellites positioned in space ...

In a traditional laser interferometer, light from a laser source is split into two beams, one of which is directed to the test surface and the other to a high-quality reference. The light ...

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 ...

The source emits a laser beam which hits the beam splitter; half of the beam gets sent to the target and then back to the beam splitter; the other half of the beam gets sent to the mirror and then ...

Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...

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.

Sailing has been a mainstay of human history for millennia, so it's no surprise that scientists would apply it to traveling ...

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

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 ...

W hat will it take to detect dark matter—the invisible, nigh-intangible substance that might make up five-sixths of all ...

Optical science advances non-destructive testing (NDT) through technologies like laser ultrasonics, shearography, and optical ...
