New optical technology can extend the detection range of gravitational-wave observatories such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory .

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.

Research promises to answer some of the deepest questions in physics and cosmology.

There are two contradicting measures right now of the local expansion rate of the universe, which gravitational waves can potentially resolve.

Gravitational waves will also provide exquisitely high precision measurements of the detailed dynamics around the event horizons of black holes.
