For the first time, astrophysicists have used artificial intelligence techniques to generate complex 3D simulations of the universe. The results are so fast, accurate and robust that even the creators ...

The universe is filled with galaxies — more than a trillion by some estimates — and we’ve only mapped a fraction of them. But answering some of the most pressing mysteries plaguing astronomers today, ...

A team of astronomers has created the largest 3D map of our universe to date and tracked dark energy’s influence on the evolution of the cosmos over the past 11 billion years. Using the Dark Energy ...

Our section of the universe has been mapped into the "most accurate simulation to date" by scientists using a supercomputer. The simulations, which were unveiled at Durham university, capture the Big ...

New techniques are being used to transform images from the Hubble Space Telescope into spectacular 3D visualisations of the Universe. Today the Hubble Space Telescope - affectionately known as "our ...

A global consortium of astrophysicists have created the world’s largest three-dimensional map of the universe, a project 20 years in the making that researchers say helps better explain the history of ...

Hidden information in maps of galaxies spread across the universe could soon come forth, thanks to a new way of interrogating ...
