SUMMARY:Exploring the dark Universe with gravitational waves: new opportun

DESCRIPTION:95% of the Universe&#x27\;s current energy density does not in
 teract with light. Furthermore\, no light signal may arrive to us from the
  infancy of the Universe\, when it was opaque. The first direct detection 
 of gravitational waves in 2015 opened the door to overcome these two limit
 ations. These waves may be produced from any violent-enough source of ener
 gy and traverse the early Universe almost unimpeded. In this colloquium I 
 will describe how gravitational waves of different frequencies bring infor
 mation from the invisible Universe\, from primordial phase transitions to 
 mergers of black holes of different sizes. I will emphasize which frequenc
 y bands are poorly covered today and show how quantum technologies in the 
 precision frontier and precise astrophysical data may be the key to access
  them. This offers a unique opportunity to unveil the mysteries of the dar
 k Universe!
