China's Taiji gravitational wave project achieves hardware milestone

Chinese scientists have successfully developed and tested the optical core for the Taiji project, a massive space-based gravitational wave observatory. This component, designed to be part of a 3 million km triangular array, has passed crucial ground tests, signifying a transition from theoretical design to functional hardware. The Taiji project aims to detect gravitational waves rippling through spacetime. AI

    A big step forward for optical core of China’s Taiji gravitational wave project

    In the sci-fi novel The Three-Body Problem, humans build “gravitational wave antennas” to broadcast to the cosmos. Now, Chinese scientists have made a step forward in turning that idea into hardware – only in reverse. Science and Technology Daily reported on Saturday that a team …
