New cosmic research results confirm Einstein's Theory of Gravity

Published:27.11.24 — The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument is a large-scale astronomical survey designed to map the universe in three dimensions, aiming to deepen our understanding of the cosmos, particularly focusing on dark energy and gravity at cosmological scales. In its first year of data collection, DESI hs mapped nearly 6 million galaxies across 11 billion years of cosmic history. These observations confirm Einstein's theory of general relativity on cosmological scales with greater precision than in the past twenty years.

Picture the Universe: CSCS and PASC project supports future SKA

Published:19.01.23 — The Square Kilometre Array Observatory is scheduled for completion by 2030. Once operational, it will generate 600 petabytes of astronomical data per year. Scientists in Switzerland are working diligently to develop part of the supercomputing infrastructure and software that will process this enormous amount of data efficiently. CSCS is lending its expertise from many years of experience in handling large amounts of data, while a project financed by the PASC initiative and led by EPFL researchers is increasing the efficiency of the data processing software.
