The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which has been known to fund the development of some pretty ...

For the first time, the University of Michigan Department of Astronomy is leading the launch of a satellite into space.

Per the agency’s RFI, it’s hoping to develop structures that would “position biology as a complementary component of the ...

Machine learning tool will help answer fundamental questions about the universe. A new AI-driven tool allows scientists to ...

A new adaptive optics technology is set to transform gravitational-wave detection, allowing LIGO and future observatories like Cosmic Explorer to reach new heights. By correcting mirror distortions, ...

LIGO is one of the largest pieces of scientific equipment in the world. It consists of two 4 kilometers by 4 kilometers-long laser interferometers. One of these interferometers is in inland Washington ...

LIGO has two widely-separated 4-km-long interferometers -- in Hanford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana -- that work together to detect gravitational waves by employing high-power laser beams.

Abstract: This research introduces how to find the analytic spectrum of a Fabry–Pérot interferometer (FPI) with arbitrary reflectivities of mirrors by giving the mathematical expression of the ...
