Evidence for dark energy from the cosmic microwave background alone
  using the Atacama Cosmology Telescope lensing measurements
  For the first time, measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation
(CMB) alone favor cosmologies with $w=-1$ dark energy over models without dark
energy at a 3.2-sigma level. We demonstrate this by combining the CMB lensing
deflection power spectrum from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope with temperature
and polarization power spectra from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe.
The lensing data break the geometric degeneracy of different cosmological
models with similar CMB temperature power spectra. Our CMB-only measurement of
the dark energy density $\Omega_\Lambda$ confirms other measurements from
supernovae, galaxy clusters and baryon acoustic oscillations, and demonstrates
the power of CMB lensing as a new cosmological tool.
