Gravitational wave researchers at @uofgphysastro.bsky.social and @uofgravity.bsky.social, working as part of the LVK collaboration, have found a way to tune their detectors using a process akin to the pitch-correction used in music production. Read more here: www.gla.ac.uk/news/headlin...

So much spinning! Andrew and Rachel are a blur. Lewis looks pleased.
