UC Berkeley astrophysicists William Holzapfel & Adrian Lee, with postdoc Christian Reichardt & others, designed and built the receiver for the telescope, which explores questions of dark energy, dark matter and neutrinos.]]> http://news.uchicago.edu/article/2012/04/02/south-pole-telescope-homes-dark-energy-neutrinos/feed/ 0
