LIGO, a system of two identical detectors carefully constructed to detect incredibly tiny vibrations from passing gravitational waves, was conceived and built by MIT and Caltech researchers, funded by the National Science Foundation, with significant contributions from other U.S. and international partners. The twin detectors are located in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington.<\/p>\n<p>More information<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/diari.uib.cat\/arxiu\/Presentacio-de-lestat-de-la-recerca-de-la.cid421494\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/diari.uib.cat\/arxiu\/Presentacio-de-lestat-de-la-recerca-de-la.cid421494<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Institute of Sapce Sciences (IEEC-CSIC) and Institute of Cosmos Sciences (IEEC-UB) will also monitor live the LIGO press conference<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ieec.cat\/ca\/esdeveniments\/activitats-divulgacio\/esdeveniments-divulgacio\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.ieec.cat\/ca\/esdeveniments\/activitats-divulgacio\/esdeveniments-divulgacio\/<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year marks the 100th anniversary of the first publication of Albert Einstein\u2019s prediction of the existence of gravitational waves.
