Hydrogen's distant glow opens new way to investigate dark energy

AI Summary

Researchers with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment report detecting faint hydrogen emissions from the distant universe using the experiment’s own data. The result could provide a new way to study dark energy and the universe’s history.

The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) has shown for the first time that it can detect the faint glow of hydrogen gas from deep in the universe's past using only its own data.
