LISA has been adopted by @ESA 🎊 @UKATC we are playing a key role (working with University of Glasgow) building the optical benches for this amazing mission, which will be the first gravitational wave observatory in space. 🛰️✨ Find out more 👉 ukatc.stfc.ac.uk/Pages/ESA-give…

Great news from European Space Agency and the member states!!!

The European Space Agency gives go-ahead for flagship #GravitationalWave observatory in space! Following today´s Adoption, the #LISA mission advances to the construction phase. lisamission.org esa.int/Science_Explor… lisa.nasa.gov #LISACommunity, #LISAMission

“This trailblazing mission will take us to the next level in a really exciting area of space science and keep European scientists at the forefront of gravitational wave research,” says @ESA Director of Science Carole Mundell. esa.int/Science_Explor…

Congratulations to LISA Mission! We're looking forward to gravitational-wave detection in space

Construction on the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna will begin in January 2025 once an industry partner has been chosen to build the craft: ow.ly/qPaa50QwOic

We'll be hosting a discussion meeting about artificial intelligence in gravitational wave science this April on the Isle of Arran in Scotland. Registration is now open! gla.ac.uk/events/confere…

The abstract deadline for AIslands : Arran 2024 is this Friday! gla.ac.uk/events/confere… Known as "Scotland in miniature" Arran is an ideal setting for detailed discussion of AI in gravitational wave science.

Good news! We have extended the abstract deadline to 23 February.

It was very exciting to pioneer our new lesson-plans developed by Tactile Universe today at Uddingston Grammar, and we're already making plans for the next one!

On 28 March, join us for our next #CinemARC event. For this family-friendly screening, we’ll be showing Lilo and Stitch. Plus, there will be a talk about aliens from Dr Andrew Spencer from the Institute of Gravitational Research UofG Institute for Gravitational Research Book here: bit.ly/3wVtb0d

Excited to start our #MagTEM2 project to commission an electron microscope with ultimate spatial resolution for magnetic materials, and more! Funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council , UK Research and Innovation, the microscope will accessible to external users from 2026. gla.ac.uk/news/headline_…

#throwback to the Student Teaching Awards Ceremony! 🌟 Congratulations to all the winners and nominees and a big thank you for all who attended on this special night 🏅 University of Glasgow

Congratulations to our own Dr Christopher Messenger, who was declared the Best Advisor of Studies in the 2024 Glasgow University SRC Student Teaching Awards! Student Teaching Awards (glasgowunisrc.org)

Researchers UofG Institute for Gravitational Research and School of Physics & Astronomy, Uni. of Glasgow are part of the international collaboration behind a recently-announced detection of a gravitational wave signal which casts new light on the diversity of cosmic objects.

Two members of our group have been turning their expertise from Gravitational Wave detection to cast new light on the workings of the oldest known analogue computer.

Congratulations to the new Dr Graeme McGhee who successfully passed his viva today

Congratulations to Graeme McGhee who won best experimental poster, detailing his work on identifying and removing point absorbers as part of his PhD studies, at the LIGO EGO & the Virgo Collaboration meeting in Barcelona this week. Well done to Isaac, Rhiannon and Sophie who were the other winners
