The 2020 Prime Minister Prize for Science goes to Australia's contribution to the first detection of gravitational waves

Gravitational Wave scientists detected the most massive black hole formed by the collision of impossible black holes.

Results published 2/7/2020 in the prestigious journal Nature show the standard quantum limit has been breached using squeezed light technology pioneered at the Australian National University (ANU) Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics and refined at MIT on the 40kg test masses in the LIGO gravitational wave detectors.

A new collaborative study with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) reveals a possible collision of two neutron stars earlier in 2019—only the second time this type of cosmic event had ever been detected.

As of Jan 1st, 2020, CGP is rebranded to ANU Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics (CGA)
