Superconducting magnets from dark matter labs can hear universe’s unheard music

SMRTR summary

Physicists have found a novel method to detect high-frequency gravitational waves using superconducting magnets from dark matter experiments. This technique could detect waves in the kilohertz to megahertz range by measuring small magnetic field changes caused by passing gravitational waves. If successful, it could reveal previously undetectable cosmic events and offer a cost-effective approach by repurposing existing equipment.
