Gravitational Wave Detectors Can Now ‘Auto-Tune’ Their Signals

When a gravitational wave passes through the Earth, the LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA detectors are ready to detect it, but their sensitivity depends on many factors and it is possible that one of them may not be operating at full capacity at that moment.
