For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein’s general relativity explains gravity as the bending of space and time. Quantum mechanics governs the world of particles and fields. Both work brilliantly in their…
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the largest and most powerful space telescope built to date. Since it was launched in December 2021 it has provided groundbreaking insights. These include discovering the earliest and most distant known galaxies, which…
Un outil basé sur l’intelligence artificielle (IA) et développé à l’EPFL est capable de distinguer les effets insaisissables de la matière noire d’autres phénomènes cosmiques, pour une meilleure précision des études sur la matière noire. La matière noire est la force…
Do constants of nature — the numbers that determine how things behave, like the speed of light — change over time as the universe expands? Does light get a little tired travelling vast cosmic distances? It was believed that dark…
L’expérience EDELWEISS recherche la matière noire et se protège des signaux parasites en se cachant sous les Alpes. L’entrée du laboratoire se trouve dans le tunnel de Fréjus. © LSM/IN2P3/CNRS Laurent Bergé, Université Paris-Saclay et Antoine Cazes, Université de Lyon…
