The gravitational attraction of this dark matter drives the development of structure in our universe.
Dark matter is transparent and emits no light.
Different theories for the composition of dark matter predict the scales on which it can clump gravitationally. Bell Labs scientists have developed a tomographic technique which produces images of the cosmic dark matter. Imaging and software technologies developed at Bell Labs enabled this new window on our universe, called gravitational lens mass tomography. All rights reserved.
