Risa Wechsler was interviewed by Wisconsin Public Radio for the story, “Researchers Conducting Sky Survey To Create Most-Detailed 3D Map Of Universe,” about what researchers hope to learn from the “DESI” project.
Fulfilling a prediction of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, researchers report the first-ever recordings of X-ray emissions from the far side of a black hole.
From the invisible world of elementary particles to the mysteries of the cosmos, recipients of this prestigious award for early career scientists explore nature at every level.
Cosmologists have unveiled a trove of fresh data, but the measurements do not settle earlier questions about the Universe’s unexpected smoothness.
An analysis of the first three years of Dark Energy Survey data is consistent with predictions from the current best model of the universe. Nevertheless, hints remain from DES and other experiments that matter in the current universe is a few percent less clumpy than predicted.
An international collaboration aims to create a 3D map of the universe, unraveling the mysterious nature of dark energy.
Read the travelogue of a xenon atom as it journeys from the air we breathe to a dark-matter detector a mile underground.
For the first time, DES scientists can combine measurements of the distribution of matter, galaxies, and galaxy clusters to advance our understanding of dark energy.
