What is in a black hole? We might find out soon enough!
Launched in 2021, this project is made up of an interdisciplinary team of researchers, engineers and PhD students from the particle physics, cold atom and astronomy communities to develop the first large-scale atom interferometer in the UK.
This programme of research will enable a ground-breaking search for ultra-light dark matter and pave the way for the exploration of gravitational waves in a frequency range previously inaccessible, opening a new window on the mergers of massive black hole and novel physics in the early universe.
