Shedding light on the invisible constituents of the Universe

Yale Center for the Invisible Universe

The Yale University Center for the Invisible Universe (YCIU) is host to pioneering research in dark matter, dark energy, black holes, and neutrinos. We host scientists and workshops to enable scientific innovation and collaboration. The center environment is dynamic and interdisciplinary, breaking down traditional boundaries to drive progress in the field. Our goal is to uncover the fundamental forces that govern the universe and inspire global collaboration, spark curiosity, and empower the next generation of scientists to explore the Invisible Universe.

The YCIU is supported by the Yale Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Office, and members include researchers from Physics, Astronomy, Applied Physics, and the Wright Lab.
