Maps of filaments of matter filling the universe. The gas wires are shown in blue. The background maps are an optical image taken by the Subaru Telescope (left) and a millimeter wavelength image taken by the ALMA observatory (right). Existence of extensive gaseous structures and cosmic web wires discovered (left); and that the filaments connect several galaxies where there is a high rate of star formation (right). Credit: RIKEN

In this map, built on the basis of the observations of the Planck spacecraft launched by the European Space Agency, you can see the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), the earliest observable light of the universe, and it gives us the best picture ever of the universe in its early childhood. The blue areas in the sky represent points where the temperature of the background radiation, and in any case also of the early universe, is lower, and the red areas reflect warmer places. Proponents of the inflationary theory, which holds that the universe expanded rapidly in its early moments, argue that the pattern of hot and cold spots is consistent with this idea. However, the theory can actually produce any pattern, and in most of its versions it produces larger temperature differences than this map shows. Moreover, if inflation did occur, the background radiation should include evidence for cosmic gravitational waves, ripples in spacetime caused by the primordial stretch, but it does not. Instead, the Planck data reveal that the true story of our universe's history is still far from over. Source: ESA and the Planck Collaboration.

Figure 2 The oxygen-sensing mechanism for which this year's Nobel laureates won is of fundamental importance in physiology, for example, for our metabolism and immune system and for our ability to exercise at variable vigorous levels. Many pathological processes are also affected by this mechanism. Today, many researchers are focusing on developing new drugs that can inhibit or activate the oxygen sensing mechanism, with the aim of improving treatments for anemia, cancer and other diseases.
