A collaboration led by Fermilab and Stanford University combines their expertise in quantum science and accelerator technologies to build the world’s largest atom interferometer. The instrument will push the boundaries of quantum physics into macroscopic scales, providing a gateway for dark matter searches and tests of gravitational waves.
A team of scientists using the Dark Energy Camera was among the first to observe the fiery aftermath of a recently detected burst of gravitational waves, recording images of the first confirmed explosion from two colliding neutron stars ever seen by astronomers.
The era of multi-messenger astronomy promises rich rewards—and a steep learning curve.
Physicists are searching for gravitational waves all across the spectrum.
A new project pairs volunteers and machine learning to sort through data from LIGO.
