New sensor uses slowed light to detect gravitational pull of tiny objects

Scientists have developed a new sensor that uses slowed light to detect the gravitational pull of tiny objects, a significant breakthrough in the field of gravitational physics.

The sensor, described in a study published in the journal Nature, could have applications in detecting dark matter and testing fundamental theories of physics.

The research was led by a team from the University of California, Los Angeles, and was supported by the National Science Foundation.
