Without broader institutional leadership, Jahn warns, only wealthy universities will make the shift, turning deep thinking into "a luxury good."

CHIME collaboration helps identify location of "missing" matter in the universe

mar, 07/21/2026 - 14:06

Estimates of ordinary matter in the universe exceed the amount observed in stars and galaxies, leaving much of it unaccounted for. Researchers from the (CHIME)/Fast Radio Bursts Collaboration, including 鶹 and MIT, have developed a new method to seek out this “missing” matter by combining galaxy locations with fast radio burst detections. A fast radio burst, or FRB, is an ultrabright, millisecond flash of radio waves emitted by extremely energetic phenomena in the distant universe.
