This research develops a fast algorithm to identify rare gravitational lenses in images from the Euclid Space Telescope. By analysing how galaxies bend light, it maps the distribution of invisible dark matter, helping astronomers investigate one of the greatest mysteries in physics: the nature and composition of dark matter.

Summary
This research uses weak gravitational lensing to map the invisible distribution of dark matter within galaxy clusters. By measuring tiny distortions in the shapes of distant galaxies, it reconstructs total mass distributions, helping scientists understand dark matter, galaxy cluster evolution, and the large-scale structure and history of the universe.

Summary
This research demonstrates that turbulence in galaxy clusters generates radio halos through synchrotron radiation from cosmic ray electrons. By linking large-scale astrophysical processes to familiar physical principles, it explains the origin of cluster emissions and advances understanding of how galaxy clusters form, merge, and evolve.
