Yale simulations probe the unstable recipe behind "intergalactic pancakes"

Galaxies are well studied, but far less is known about the vast stretches of space between them. Though it seems empty, the intergalactic medium (IGM) actually contains more matter than galaxies do – it’s just hard to see because it’s not shi… Continue reading Yale simulations probe the unstable recipe behind "intergalactic pancakes"

CERN searches for "dark photons," light's hypothetical cousin that could unlock dark matter

CERN experiments have been unable to detect dark photons

Dark matter is a mysterious substance that seems to permeate the universe, but detecting it is tricky on account of it not interacting with regular matter very often. Scientists have a list of particles that they’re working through as possible suspects, and now that list is a little shorter. Experiments at CERN have ruled out some types of dark photons, inching us closer to finding the elusive dark matter.

Mysterious galaxy's missing dark matter may have been found

The ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC1052-DF2 was previously thought to contain very little dark matter – but a ...

Dark matter is the mysterious substance that’s believed to permeate the universe, outweighing regular matter by a ratio of five to one. It’s thought to play a central role in the formation of galaxies, which made the discovery last year of a galaxy with no dark matter quite surprising. But now, astronomers have examined the oddball galaxy a bit closer – and found that it’s not so special after all.

H2O’s Deep Water puts deep learning in the hands of enterprise users

screen-shot-2017-01-26-at-12-25-50-pm To complement existing offerings like Sparkling Water and Steam, H2O.ai is releasing Deep Water, a new tool to help businesses make deep learning a part of everyday operations. Deep Water will open up new possibilities for the TensorFlow, MXNet and Caffe communities to engage with H20.ai. This also means that the GPU is set to become a greater part of business operations for the entire… Read More Continue reading H2O’s Deep Water puts deep learning in the hands of enterprise users
