Argonne scientists Lindsey Bleem and Clarence Chang talk about what it’s like to look for signals from the early universe from the South Pole Telescope.
Argonne-driven technology is part of a broad initiative to answer fundamental questions about the birth of matter in the universe and the building blocks that hold it all together.
Argonne researchers are using nanoparticles to make photodetectors better able to handle the ultraviolet radiation produced in high-energy physics experiments.
The South Pole Telescope, specially designed to measure the cosmic microwave background, is continuing its multi-year survey to observe the earliest instants of the universe.
