Current Asian developments will be described by Takaaki Kajita, principal investigator of Japan&#8217;s KAGRA antenna, who shared the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nobelprize.org\/prizes\/physics\/2015\/summary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2015 Nobel Prize in Physics<\/a>&nbsp;&#8220;for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other contributors from the US, Italy and France, along with government and agency dignitaries, round out the program, which will conclude with the unveiling of bronze IEEE Milestone plaques at each of the 3 sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A wealth of information is at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gwamilestone.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.GWAMilestone.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note:\u00a0the registration page\u00a0(<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gwamilestone.com\/register\" target=\"_blank\">www.GWAMilestone.com\/register<\/a>)\u00a0will include the YouTube Live and Facebook Live streaming links for this event no later than Friday, Jan. 29.
