The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) collaboration, which includes researchers from the University of Toronto, recently ...

compared to ESA's Planck space telescope. The improved clarity allowed scientists to detect faint light polarization and produce more detailed maps of the universe. Suzanne Staggs, director of ACT ...

The Planck space mission has today (March 21) released the most accurate and detailed map ever made of the oldest light in the universe. The universe according to Planck is expanding a bit more slowly ...

ACT had a much higher resolution than the European Space Agency's Planck space telescope, so strong that it allowed researchers to see the faint polarization of light and create increasingly detailed ...

Now, the ‘Ultrafast & Twisted Photonics’ research group at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light ... Among several light attributes, pure polarization states are crucial for many ...

A telescope in Chile has spent years working on by far the most precise map of the earliest visible ... For the first time, the polarization of the signals can now be made out, which tells us ...

Part of the new image that shows the polarization of the CMB. (ACT Collaboration; ESA/Planck Collaboration) The new map of the CMB gave a Hubble constant of 69.9 kilometers per second per megaparsec.

A map of the CMB published ... we’re seeing the polarization of light in high resolution. That is a defining factor distinguishing ACT from Planck and other, earlier telescopes.” ...
