Have we detected dark energy? Cambridge scientists say it’s a possibility

20 September 2021

Dark energy, the mysterious force that causes the universe to accelerate, may have been responsible for unexpected results from the XENON1T experiment, deep below Italy’s Apennine Mountains. A new study , led by researchers at the University of Cambridge and reported in the journal Physical Review D , suggests that some...

Supermassive black holes put a brake on stellar births

20 July 2021

m101_pinwheel_galaxy_hst.jpeg Black holes with masses equivalent to millions of suns do put a brake on the birth of new stars, say astronomers. Using machine learning and three state of the art simulations to back up results from a large sky survey, the researchers resolve a 20-year long debate on the formation of stars...
