Pulling the secrets of dark matter out of a hat

[ad_1] On the first floor of the MIT Nuclear Science Laboratory hangs an instrument called “A Broadband / Resonant Approach to Cosmic Axis Sensing with an Amplifying B-Field Ring Apparatus”, or ABRACADABRA for short. As the name states, ABRACADABRA’s goal is to detect axions, a hypothetical particle that could be …

The advanced atomic clock makes a better dark matter detector

[ad_1] Credit:N. Hanacek / NIST JILA researchers used a state-of-the-art atomic clock to narrow the search for elusive dark matter, an example of how continuous improvements in watches have value beyond timekeeping. Older atomic clocks operating at microwave frequencies have already searched for dark matter, but this is the first …

A wind chime-based dark matter detector seems odd enough to work

[ad_1] Illustration: Jim Cooke Dark matter physicists may have one of the most frustrating jobs in science. Their work deals with something that, according to almost all models of the universe, must exist. But we have never found any direct evidence for dark matter. Where other scientists can capture their …

Galaxies have gotten warmer as the November 11 age advances

[ad_1] Who says you can’t get hotter with age? Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and other institutions have found that, on average, the temperature of galaxy clusters today is 4 million degrees Fahrenheit. This is 10 times hotter than 10 billion years ago and four times hotter than the Sun’s …
