Chinese scientists have announced a gravitational wave research plan they're dubbing1 "Taiji."
中国科学家公布了一项名为“太极”的引力波研究计划。
The Chinese Academy of Sciences says their research plans will be
finalized2 later this year.
Academy member Wu Yueliang says their research will focus on low and medium-frequency gravitational wave signals, which would be different from those which US researchers confirmed they'd found last week using their Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave
Observatory3, or LIGO.
"Gravitational waves can be categorized into three types according to their frequency bands. Low-frequency gravitational waves come from a larger variety of sources than the other two types, like the
merger4 of
binary5 galaxies6 or supermassive binary black holes and
celestial7 body explosions. But these sources are yet to be found and this is what we are striving for."
