Dr Steve Cunnington from the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, Universities of Portsmouth and Manchester joins us for September.
In his talk, "Mapping the Universe to Reveal its Dark Secrets", he will give an overview of how large radio telescopes, such as the Square Kilometre Array, will provide new ways to map the structure of the Universe by recording how its content is distributed. These maps, which stretch unprecedented scales and depths, provide clues to how gravity works and can help reveal the nature of dark energy and dark matter. .
