A space-based telescope to hunt dark energy, and what we can learn from scaleless snakes


Listen Later

On this week’s show: Euclid, a powerful platform for detecting dark energy, and a slithery segment on how snakes make scales

 

First up on the show this week, we’re taking the hunt for dark energy to space. Staff Writer Daniel Clery joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss a new space-based telescope called Euclid, set to launch next month. Euclid will kick off a new phase in the search for dark energy, the mysterious force that is accelerating the expansion of the universe.

 

Also on this week’s show, snakes reveal a new way to pattern the body. Athanasia Tzika, a senior lecturer in the genetics and evolution department at the University of Geneva, talks about her Science Advances paper on the novel way snakes organize their scales.

 

This week’s episode was produced with help from Podigy.
