A groundbreaking computational physics framework has demonstrated that the three-dimensional fabric of the universe can be generated from scratch using a simple algorithm with exactly zero free ...

A recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters has provided the most precise distance to the Coma Cluster of galaxies yet — and also has deepened a crisis in cosmology. The problem is ...

The native just-in-time compiler in Python 3.15 can speed up code by as much as 20% or more, although it’s still experimental. JITing, or “just-in-time” compilation, can make relatively slow ...

Astronomers and cosmologists aren’t known for being incredible at adjectives. Take the Very Large Telescope, or the European Extremely Large Telescope, or even the big bang. But they weren’t wrong ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile not only confirmed one of the greatest mysteries in the universe—it also ruled out dozens of models that attempted to solve it. Reading time 3 minutes The ...

The University of Chicago welcomed representatives from two leading European institutions on Nov. 19 to mark the expansion of science collaboration into the field of particle physics and cosmology.

There's always a touch of melancholy when a chapter that has absorbed years of work comes to an end. In the case of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), those years amount to nearly 20—and now the ...

Three papers published in JCAP presenting the sixth and final data release of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope offer a new map of the “infant” Universe, confirm the “Hubble tension,” and rule out a set ...
