The Mandelstam and National Institutes for Theoretical Physics will host Professor Jonathan Sievers to present this seminar.

The 21cm transition of atomic hydrogen is rapidly becoming one of our most powerful tools for probing the evolution of the universe. 

New radio telescopes are coming online that will map out the formation of the first generation of stars and the (possible) evolution of dark energy.

The University of Kwazulu Natal (UKZN) is leading two such experiments. Sievers will share the science goals and provide updates on these experiments.
