They also express their gratitude to the multitude of Einstein@home volunteers who made these discoveries possible by donating their computer time with the BOINC app.
Einstein@Home is a project using data from the LIGO gravitational wave detectors and is also whitelisted scientific project with the cryptocurrency Gridcoin.
Just relaying the news to Steemit!
