LSU Phys & Astro researchers tested a new technique to reduce "cosmic noise" in gravitational-wave detectors, improving clarity, just like adjusting a camera lens. This breakthrough will enable more precise study of distant cosmic events, like black hole mergers and even the origins of the universe.
