New Experiment Whips Up Energetic Photons to Hunt for Dark Matter

When astronomers point their telescopes to the heavens, they tend to look toward the light. They may search for the pin pricks of shining stars, the billowing of cold gas clouds, the faint heat of a star nursery or the rhythmic blaze of a pulsar.

KATRIN Collaboration Achieves Most-Sensitive Neutrino Mass Information to Date

Scientists have known about the existence of neutrinos – tiny fundamental particles that almost never interact with matter – for 95 years. Nobel Prize-winning work in 1998 showed that their mass is not zero.

Milestone on the Way to Creating Antihydrogen in Mainz: New Dual-Frequency Paul Trap Tested

A new type of radiofrequency trap can capture particles with extremely different requirements and could theoretically hold both types of particles at the same time.

Tracking the Enormous Hydrogen Gas Halos of Ancient Galaxies

Astronomers analyzing data from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) identified tens of thousands of massive hydrogen gas halos, known as “Lyman-alpha nebulae,” that surrounded galaxies 10 billion to 12 billion years ago. The Astrophysical Journal reported the findings.

Gravitational Waves as Possible Candidates for the Origin of Dark Matter

Gravitational waves could be responsible for the production of dark matter during the early phases of our universe’s formation, according to results of a new study by Professor Joachim Kopp from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the PRISMA++ Cluster of Excellence in cooperation with Dr. Azadeh Maleknejad from Swansea University.
