Today, 11 February, #GW stands for two things: #GravitationalWaves 〰️ and #Girls&Women ❤️.
We mark 10 years since the first GW detection announcement (11 Feb 2016) and the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
Both began in 2015 (GW150914). ✨

🌟 Why ET goes underground: to escape surface noise (incl. Newtonian noise) and detect incredibly faint #gravitationalwaves. New article: facility concept, safety, and what it’s like to work below ground.

Einstein Telescope infrastructure & safety depend strongly on the future site 🗺️🛡️. On 19–20 Jan 2026, ETO, candidate host consortia and CERN met to exchange key info 🤝, with additional experts joining online 💻
@cern.bsky.social
A group poses in a lecture hall in front of a projector screen showing a video-call grid, with two large monitors on either side. A group stands in an underground technical area beside a large metallic pipe with a copper strip and fittings; the photo is rotated sideways. Participants sit around a long conference table while a presenter points to a slide titled ‘Personnel transport (evacuation means)’ projected at the front. People gather around a guide in an industrial hall next to long cylindrical metal equipment under yellow overhead support frames.

A check-in moment🤝: Einstein Telescope Organisation and CERN met to align on shared objectives for ET. From vacuum and materials to manufacturing, civil engineering and safety, CERN’s engineering expertise supports key ET activities — and opens the door to powerful synergies✨.
Inside a long technical hall, two people walk alongside a large metallic cylindrical beam tube section; an overhead yellow crane spans the corridor. Two people inspect a large beam tube up close as one points to a yellow lifting fixture suspended above the tube. A wide view of the beam tube pilot area showing a yellow support frame, equipment on pallets, and long rows of pipes and cables running along the hall. A presenter speaks at the front of a meeting room while attendees sit at desks with laptops; a large wall screen shows slides and a video call interface.

Autumn ET Collaboration workshops boosted ET tech: ET-LF TM Tower Integration (Isola d’Elba) refined the low-frequency test-mass tower, super-attenuator control, cryostat interface & baseline steps. MAD25 (Berlin) united GW, materials & industry to develop crystals for ultra-sensitive components.
Three photos from a conference: a crowded lecture room with attendees seated and listening to a presentation; a poster session where participants talk in front of display boards; and a coffee-break area with people networking near a table of snacks and drinks, plus a small group discussing a poster beside a whiteboard. Group photo of the workshop participants on an outdoor terrace: about thirty people are standing and sitting in several rows, many wearing name badges on lanyards. In the background are green hills under a bright sky and a distant line of sea; a sunny day with a panoramic view. Large group photo taken indoors at a research institute: around 35–40 conference participants of mixed genders stand and kneel in several rows, all wearing name badges and smiling at the camera. Behind them are posters on the wall and the “ikz” logo; the room has wooden floors, bright lighting, and a large potted plant by the windows on the right.

❄️ Having a chill start to the week at SNOLAB!

SNOLAB uses a special technique to measure trace amounts of radon in infrastructure and experiments in the underground laboratory. This method, a radon assay, requires cryogenic temperatures to make it work.

Four members of the DEAP-3600 Queen’s group stand smiling behind a table at the McDonald Institute. The table displays electronic equipment used for demonstrations. Next to them is a DEAP-3600 poster, and two members are holding 3D-printed models of the detector used to explain dark matter research.

Einstein’s theory passes another test — and black holes reveal new secrets.
The latest LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA results uncover rare, fast-spinning mergers that may be second-generation black holes, born from earlier cosmic encounters. 💫

An artistic visualisation of two black holes merging in deep space. The smaller black hole orbits and spirals into the larger one, surrounded by a glowing orange and red accretion disk, releasing intense energy and gravitational waves across the dark cosmic background.
