New datasets will train AI models to think like scientists

02 December 2024

What can exploding stars teach us about how blood flows through an artery? Or swimming bacteria about how the ocean’s layers mix? A collaboration of researchers, including from the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge, has reached a milestone toward training artificial intelligence models to find and use transferable knowledge between fields to drive scientific discovery.

Webb detects most distant black hole merger to date

16 May 2024

An international team of astronomers, led by the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge, has used the James Webb Space Telescope to find evidence for an ongoing merger of two galaxies and their massive black holes when the Universe was only 740 million years old. This marks the most distant detection of a black hole merger ever obtained and the first time that this phenomenon has been detected so early in the Universe.

Galaxy mergers solve early Universe mystery

18 January 2024

A team of astronomers, led by the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge, has used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to reveal, for the first time, what lies in the local environment of galaxies in the very early Universe.
