Artificial intelligence is transforming the way scientists explore the universe—from designing more sensitive instruments and accelerating complex simulations to uncovering patterns hidden within enormous datasets. But at the Science x AI Summit held at UC Riverside, one idea surfaced again and again: the greatest breakthroughs won't come from technology alone. They will come from the...
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Adam Riess visited UC Riverside on June 4 to deliver the latest installment of the Frontiers of Cosmology Lecture Series, offering a public exploration of one of the most profound mysteries in modern science: why the universe’s expansion is accelerating. Hosted by the UCR Center for Experimental Cosmology & Instrumentation (CECI) in...
SPACE.COM - A new type of self-interacting dark matter could provide solutions to three very different cosmic puzzles, new research suggests. The first mystery that could be solved involves an ultradense clump of matter detected in the system JVAS B1938+666, which is gravitationally lensed, or visibly distorted, thanks to a quirk of general relativity. The...
