WORLD PREMIERE | The largest single-crystal silicon mirror ever made 🪞
The largest single-crystal silicon mirror ever produced has just been completed, and it will soon join the new ET-CRISTAL laboratory at Liège Space Center (CSL).
This achievement is part of the broader effort to build the Einstein Telescope, Europe's next-generation gravitational-wave observatory.

🎤 Public talk (in English) “Gravitational wave astronomy – quo vadis?” in Erlangen ✨
Michèle Heurs, professor at @unihannover, will give the Lise Meitner Lecture 2026 at the spring meeting of the @DPGPhysik in Erlangen. Entrance to the public evening lecture in English is free.
🚩 March 18 at 19:00 CET | Audimax of @FAU
From the abstract: “Since the first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015, we have opened an entirely new observation window into the Universe (complementary to the electromagnetic spectrum, neutrinos, and cosmic rays), heralding the era of multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves. A wealth of scientific insights has already been gained – but so much more is yet to be discovered!”

Key technology for the Einstein Telescope reaches next milestone
High-precision laser from Hannover is used in new test environment
ℹ️ https://www.aei.mpg.de/1409434/hannoveraner-laserlicht-im-etpathfinder
The Einstein Telescope (ET) is Europe's future gravitational-wave observatory. The ETpathfinder research and development facility in Maastricht is testing key technologies for ET. One such technology is a novel laser source from Hannover.
The laser source was developed jointly by the @mpi_grav and @unihannover. Its light is now being used for the first time in the ETpathfinder's vacuum system.
These results will be instrumental in the development of future laser sources for gravitational-wave detectors, such as ET and the US Cosmic Explorer project.

✨ New header image 🖼️
Fits in the palm of your hand and weighs about as much as a grapefruit: The newly developed inertial sensor (on the left in the circular hole in the metal frame) and the highly sensitive laser sensing system. (on the right) developed by researchers at @mpi_grav and @Fraunhofer_IOF.
The compact inertial sensor, with a mass in the gram range, has now been tested in a gravitational-wave detector prototype facility. Its performance is comparable to that of commercial kilogram-scale sensors.
Thanks to its small size, self-calibration, inherent vacuum compatibility, and “plug and play” functionality, the sensor is ideal for integration into a wide range of applications, including the complex seismic isolation systems of future gravitational-wave detectors such as the Einstein Telescope or Cosmic Explorer.

This technological breakthrough from gravitational-wave research is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and weighs about as much as a grapefruit. This newly developed, compact inertial sensor is just as precise as much bulkier, commercially available devices.
🏋️ Researchers at the @mpi_grav and the @Fraunhofer_IOF have carefully designed the sensor to reduce its size and weight compared to state-of-the-art commercial devices without compromising performance.

👏 Good news for the Einstein Telescope 🎉
The planned European third-generation gravitational-wave observatory is on the German shortlist of the National Prioritization Process for the realization of new research infrastructures.
This underscores that the German government recognizes the importance of the prepatory phase of the Einstein Telescope as a project of scientific, economic, and social significance for Germany.
Although inclusion on the shortlist does not guarantee funding, it is an important signal that the Einstein Telescope is being prioritized from a research policy perspective and demonstrates its potential to make a major contribution to the performance of the German science system.

🚨 New selected research highlight 💡
Breakthrough in Laser Technology: Researchers at the @mpi_grav and @unihannover have developed a novel method to reduce shot noise in lasers, enabling more precise measurements in low-power experiments.
➡️ https://www.aei.mpg.de/1180997/squeezing-out-noise?c=26149
📄 https://journals.aps.org/prresearch/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevResearch.7.L022040
This innovation, utilizing squeezed vacuum states, stabilizes laser power fluctuations by up to 3.7 times below the previous limit, opening up new possibilities for life sciences and gravitational-wave detection.
