Seeing the Dark with Gravitational Lensing

This lecture from the Saturday Science: Future Innovators series features Tansu Daylan and Bryce Wedig exploring the concept of gravitational lensing and how it helps scientists observe dark matter. Presented by the WU Physics Department on March 29th, 2025, the 33-minute talk demonstrates how the bending of light by massive objects allows astronomers to detect otherwise invisible cosmic structures. Learn about this fascinating technique that serves as a crucial tool in understanding the mysterious dark components of our universe. Video production by TJ Ingrassia.
