A map of the sky showing the density of galaxy clusters, galaxies and matter in the universe over the part of the sky observed by the Dark Energy Survey. The left panel shows the galaxy density in that part of...
Highly reflective mirrors and telescope lenses in the Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC) optical laser system are carefully positioned to propagate the instrument’s high-quality laser beams. The laser beams create extreme pressure and temperature conditions in materials that are instantaneously...
KIPAC scientists have for the first time used artificial neural networks to analyze complex distortions in spacetime, called gravitational lenses, demonstrating that the method is 10 million times faster than traditional analyses.
