The present day gravitational wave (GW) detectors strive to detect the length variation $\delta L = h L$, which, owing to the smallness of the metric perturbation $\sim h$, is an extremely small length $\mathcal{O} \sim 10^{-18} - 10^{-21}$…

Binary pulsars allow us to carry out precision tests of gravity and have placed stringent bounds on a broad class of theories beyond general relativity. Current and future radio telescopes, such as FAST, SKA, and MeerKAT, may find a new…
If string theory is correct, then our observable Universe may be a 3-dimensional "brane" embedded in a higher-dimensional spacetime. This theoretical scenario should be tested via the state-of-the-art in gravitational experiments -- the…
