Last night, the 5,000 fibre-optic ‘eyes’ of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) reached a major milestone, having fully covered the area originally planned for its map of the universe. Thus, DESI’s five-year programme has concluded ahead of schedule and with far more data than expected, resulting in the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe ever produced. This map will enable researchers to explore dark energy, which accounts for 70% of the universe and drives its accelerated expansion. By comparing how galaxies were distributed in the past with their currentAdvertised on -
The course, taught by Hannah Thiel, a researcher at the Vigo Quantum Communication Center, brought Institute staff together around the foundations, applications and technological challenges of quantum communications and quantum key distribution. The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) held a specialised course on quantum communications on 28 and 29 July, organised at the invitation of the Free Space Optics Communications Lab of the CELESTE project. The training, delivered by researcher Hannah Thiel, from the Vigo Quantum Communication Center at the Universidad de Vigo, took place atAdvertised on
