The LUX-ZEPLIN detector is now operational and ready to capture weakly interacting particles believed to be the constituents of dark matter.
Results for "dark energy"
Dark matter could be composed of primordial black holes
A new theory for the origin and nature of dark matter resolves some inconsistencies between cosmological predictions and astronomical data.
Solar chemicals and fuels in the dark
Conquering cloud and nighttime solar intermittency comes from the phenomenon of persistent photoconductivity observed in materials that contain sub-bandgap trap states.
The bricks and mortar of energy storage
Researchers store energy in red bricks, providing a low-cost battery alternative to power a home.
