Gravitational wave detectors use laser interferometry in kilometre-scale arms (LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA) or space-scale baselines (future LISA) to sense the picometer-scale spacetime stretches caused by passing gravitational waves. They have detected mergers of black holes and neutron stars, inaugurating gravitational-wave astronomy.
