2017 Nobel Prize in Physics to LIGO team
Rainer Weiss, Barry Barish and Kip Thorne were last night awarded the
2017 Nobel Prize for Physics,
"for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector
and the observation of gravitational waves". This award caps a terrific year
for the collaboration, which (by my observation) has scooped pretty much
all the
major
science
awards.
Here at Monash we're
celebrating our involvement in the project,
and looking forward to the (hopefully many) surprises in store for the future.
