Researchers at ANU played a pivotal role in this discovery by providing key instrumentation, including steering mirrors and stabilisation systems, to the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO).
A new facility at The Australian National University (ANU) will help scientists detect some of the most extreme events in the universe and put Australia “front and centre” of the exciting field of gravitational wave science.
The International community of Gravitational Wave scientists are a few steps closer to detect a new source of gravitational waves that has never been detected.
