Spacetime ripples found at last

These questions focus on gravitational waves, gravitational wave detectors and how observing gravitational waves can improve our understanding of the universe.

The latest on self-driving cars

These student questions focus on autonomous vehicles and the nature of research that will support their widespread use.

Wave detection

Students will design, build, test and optmize their own light-based detector for waves (a simple optical seismometer) and will explore how this detector relates to more sophisticated gravitational wave detectors.

Wave generation

Students will generate and observe waves in a clear pan of water, drawing connections between these waves and light and gravitational waves.
