The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the relic radiation from the early Universe, imprinted at the epoch of recombination when photons decoupled from matter. Detailed measurements of its ...
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides a snapshot of the Universe 380,000 years after the Big Bang, revealing minute temperature fluctuations—anisotropies—that trace the primordial density ...
In a new Physical Review Letters (PRL) study, scientists explore the possibility of nontrivial or exotic topologies in the universe for explaining some of the anomalies seen in Cosmic Microwave ...
George Smoot, who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2006 for his studies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), died on 18 September at the age of 80. Smoot’s work on the blackbody form and ...
Cosmologists are using secondary signatures from the cosmic microwave background to map the universe’s hidden matter. Nearly 400,000 years after the Big Bang, the primordial plasma of the infant ...
