Euclid helps to better understand the universe – first results are exciting
For the first time, we’re seeing what Euclid sees. The telescope’s initial observations have provided a wealth of new information about our universe. But according to cosmologist Alessandra Silvestri, this is just the beginning. The research helps us gain a deeper understanding of the past, present,…

Leiden physicists search for ultralight dark matter using a magnetically levitated particle
Is it possible to measure subtle oscillations caused by dark matter moving through the earth? A Dutch-American physicist team have discovered a new route toward what could be the first-ever measurement of ultralight dark matter. They suspended a microscopic magnet inside a superconducting enclosure,…

Supermassive Black Holes
Supermassive black holes are the largest black holes in the universe. In mass, they vary from a million to ten billion times heavier than our sun. Elena Maria Rossi develops theoretical and computer models that make the best use of (soon to be) available data, in order to gain deeper insights into the…

Special telescope measures neutrino with highest energy ever
Even with state-of-the-art technology, it is almost impossible to see: a cosmic neutrino. Yet scientists have managed to image this particle with a deep-sea telescope. And that could help to better understand our universe. Leiden particle physicists collaborated on this ambitious project, published…

Greedy Supermassive Black Holes
Greedy Supermassive Black Holes At the centre of almost all galaxies, you will find supermassive black holes. These galactic giants are the biggest of black holes and have a mass a million times higher than the sun – or more. To grow even bigger, they feed on gas and dust that pass by in their vicinity,…
