“The cosmic microwave background (CMB) was generated 380.000 years after the big bang, when the universe became transparent. ... a sufficiently large detector to reveal our cosmic origins. ...

To push back the veil of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) will require unprecedented millimeter-wave measurements of its polarization. The aim is to detect minute patterns in this remnant ...

In the Big Bang Theory, the cosmic microwave background — microwave-range radiation that floats through the entire universe ...

New observations support the idea that hot, diffuse threads of gas called cosmic filaments connect clusters of galaxies ...

They interact with interstellar gas, dust and even the cosmic microwave background. These collisions produce gamma rays and neutrinos, particles that detectors like IceCube can spot. “By studying the ...

Using data from the LIGO and Virgo gravity wave observatories, scientists have … ...

Various large-scale astrophysical research projects are set to take place over the next decade, several of which are so-called cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. These are large-scale ...

Called Cosmic Microwave Background-Stage 4, the project would comprise an array of small- and large-aperture telescopes deployed in Chile and at the South Pole. Building it would require unprecedented ...

About 60,000 detectors in the four telescopes will then study a cosmic glow of microwaves that fill the universe. “It’s a unique instrument,” said Suzanne Staggs, a professor of physics at ...
