| In a new study published in Optics Letters, researchers show how dynamic tracking could help reduce noise in a gravitational-wave detector. The advance could one day allow scientists to see farther into the universe and provide more information about how black holes and neutron stars behave as they merge. |

| Congratulations to Michael Fleischhauer, Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität (RPTU) Kaiserslautern-Landau, German, the 2025 Herbert Walther Award winner. He is honored for key contributions in nonlinear quantum optics as well as photonic and atomic quantum technologies—in particular for the development of a toolbox to coherently control multi-level atoms with light, including the concept of dark state polaritons and Rydberg dipole blockade physics. |

| Vladimir Aksyuk is particularly interested in developing a comprehensive understanding of whatever he's working on, no matter the topic. He always wants to fully understand why a particular result occurs or why a solution works. Going back and forth between making a new measurement and figuring out the "why" eventually leads to a robust and complete understanding that can be applied to other research areas. |
