- TAMA A five-year (1995-2000) project involving almost all gravity physics researchers in Japan. It adopts a Fabry-Perot Michelson Interferometer (FPMI) with recycling. The aim of this project is to develop advanced techniques needed for a future km-sized interferometer and catch gravitational waves that may occur by chance within our local group of galaxies.
- Laser Interferometer Space Antenna -- LISA Universität Hannover site. Includes information about the project as well as the text of reports based on it.
- WUGRAV Movies Computer simulated movies of colliding neutron stars, gravitational waves propagation; click on top image for newest movies.
- Listen to the Universe Simulated sounds of gravitational waves created by spiraling binary systems.
- Waves and Field Theory A humorous introduction to concepts such as gravitational effects.
- Chilling Mirrors with Light Applied to gravitational wave detectors.
- Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) An ESA space mission to detect and observe gravitational waves from massive black holes and galactic binary stars in the frequency range 10-4 to 10-1 hz. Useful measurements in this frequency range cannot be made on the ground because of the unshieldable background of local gravitational noise.
- Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) U.S. facility dedicated to the detection of cosmic gravitational waves and the harnessing of these waves for scientific research.
