Jao (Jose Antonio Ortega Ruiz) got a Ph.D. in gravitational-wave detectors, left the field, and has now been inspired to get back in. From Wordnik.com. [Blogs!] Reference
For a ring of particles floating in space, a passing gravitational-wave will cause them to oscillate (image at right stolen from the Wikipedia entry). From Wordnik.com. [The difficult childhood of gravitational waves] Reference

Over 320 were submitted, all of which will eventually become public on the NRC website (yours truly contributed to four, having to do with coordinated gravitational-wave and electromagnetic observations, gamma-ray bursts, and rapid-cadence surveys.). From Wordnik.com. [The next decade] Reference

When he needed a supercomputer to crunch the results of gravitational-wave research, he built one with his colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. From Wordnik.com. [Latest from Computerworld] Reference
Einstein's theory of general relativity, appears to be years-and possibly decades-away, as the current generation of gravitational-wave detectors has so far failed to find any. From Wordnik.com. [Scientific American] Reference
Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts that such a violent space-time disturbance would have generated strong gravitational waves that would persist to this day as a cosmic gravitational-wave background (CGB) -- a gravitational analog to the CMB. From Wordnik.com. [Space News From SpaceDaily.Com] Reference
This will have implications for gravitational-wave astronomy, he says, because the signal from such events may be detectable by the advanced LIGO-VIRGO-GEO network of ground-based laser interferometric detectors or by the proposed space-based LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna).

They include gravitational-wave detectors such as GEO600 which search for ripples in space-time, space-borne telescopes like SWIFT, STEREO and XMM-NEWTON, and ground-based telescopes such as the Very Large Telescope VLT at the European Southern Observatory's site in Chile, plus the Jodrell Bank radio telescope in Cheshire.

If we were to find evidence for gravitational-wave perturbations in the polarization of the CMB, of the type inflation could easily explain, then I might be convinced; but it’s quite possible that the gravity wave are really there but at a level too tiny to ever be observed.
