We present a new differential mechanical gradiometer for the detection of low-frequency Gravitational Waves. The frequency range is 0.05 to 1 Hz, a frequency gap not covered either by future space-based detectors such as LISA or by…

First experimental results from a room-temperature table-top phase-sensitive axion haloscope experiment are presented. The technique exploits the axion-photon coupling between two photonic resonator-oscillators excited in a single cavity,…
