Black hole special New Scientist NL dives into gravitational waves with the Einstein Telescope

Learn all about black holes and how we can study them with the Einstein Telescope in a special issue of New Scientist NL magazine. The special is distributed as a supplement to May’s New Scientist and can be downloaded for free as a pdf (Dutch).

Central to the special is an extensive infographic on the Einstein Telescope. In a separate interview, scientific director Stan Bentvelsen of the project office for the Einstein Telescope in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine explains why researchers, companies and governments are so interested in an instrument to study black holes. From the origins of black holes and the universe just after the Big Bang to precision engineering for industry, the Einstein Telescope has plenty to offer.
