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…

We propose a space-borne gravitational-wave detection scheme, called atom interferometric gravitational-wave space observatory (AIGSO). It is motivated by the progress in the atomic matter-wave interferometry, which solely utilizes the…
