Astronomers using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) have completed the largest high‑resolution 3D map of the universe, mapping more than 47 million galaxies. The dataset could sharpen our understanding of dark energy and the cosmic expansion, potentially testing whether dark energy is the cosmological constant, with about 20% more sky to be added by 2028 and definitive dark‑energy results expected in 2027.
Three scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and a faculty scientist with a joint appointment at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley have been selected to receive funding through the U.S. Department of Energy's Early Career Research Program (ECRP). The program aims to support exceptional researchers at the beginning of their careers, providing funding for their research projects. The Berkeley Lab awardees will be working on projects related to developing next-generation light sources, advancing superconducting magnet science, understanding chemical dynamics in renewable energy applications, and controlling the chiral properties of materials through light-matter interactions. The ECRP funding will help these scientists make significant contributions to their respective fields.
