Variations in the ‘fogginess’ of the universe identify a milestone in cosmic history

3 April 2019

Large differences in the ‘fogginess’ of the early universe were caused by islands of cold gas left behind when the universe heated up after the big bang, according to an international team of astronomers. The results , reported in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society , have enabled astronomers to zero in...

Cambridge researchers raise doubts about claimed detection of “Cosmic Dawn”

20 December 2018

A great deal of interest was created a few months ago by a paper 1 announcing the detection of “An absorption profile centred at 78 megahertz in the sky-averaged spectrum”. This was a finding by the EDGES experiment showing an apparent feature in the radio emission coming from all parts of the sky which could be the...

Scientists identify exoplanets where life could develop as it did on Earth

3 August 2018

Scientists have identified a group of planets outside our solar system where the same chemical conditions that may have led to life on Earth exist. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge and the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (MRC LMB), found that the chances for life to develop on the...

From an almost perfect Universe to the best of both worlds

31 July 2018

The Planck consortium has made their final data release, including new processing of the cosmic microwave background temperature and polarisation data. This legacy dataset confirms the model of an 'almost perfect Universe', with some remaining oddities giving researchers some intriguing details to puzzle over The Planck...
