The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) collaboration, which includes researchers from the University of Toronto, recently ...

After five years of staring unblinking at the sky, the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) has compiled the most detailed map we've ever seen of the cosmic microwave background – the faint light that ...

ACT had a much higher resolution than the European Space Agency's Planck space telescope, so strong that it allowed researchers to see the faint polarization of light and create increasingly detailed ...

The new pictures of this background radiation, known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB), add higher definition to those observed more than a decade ago by the Planck space-based telescope. “ACT ...

That is a determining factor distinguishing ACT from Planck and other earlier telescopes." Despite telling scientists a great deal about the conditions in the early universe, these new ACT ...

One of the Holy Grails in cosmology is a look back at the earliest epochs of cosmic history. Unfortunately, the universe's ...
