Record-Breaking Laser Link to Test Einstein's Theory of Relativity

Researchers set a record for the most stable transmission of a laser signal through the atmosphere. Read more about it here.

Science & Tech

Scientists from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) and The University of Western Australia (UWA) set a world record for the most stable transmission of a laser signal through the atmosphere, ICRAR reports in a press release.

In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, the team behind the world record describe how they combined "phase stabilization" technology with advanced self-guiding optical terminals.

The researchers say their laser will allow science such as Einstein's theory of general relativity to be tested more precisely than ever before.

The combination of "phase stabilization" technology and advanced self-guiding optical terminals allows laser signals to be sent from one point to another without interference from the atmosphere.
