Turbulence is hard to control, but a turbulent blob created using vortex rings provides fundamental insights into this elusive state of matter.
Are dark photons alternatives to dark matter?
Researchers investigate dark photons as alternatives to dark matter, aiming to detect these particles through experiments involving the conversion of light.
Dark energy telescope reveals early look at almost two million cosmic objects
Galaxies, quasars, and stars… oh my! Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) first data is a small fraction of the huge cosmic survey it will conduct.
Atoms vs apples: How quantum effects challenge gravity’s rules
New research reveals that quantum effects defy the universality of free fall, providing a potential experimental pathway to test quantum gravity.
Galactic clusters may be key to testing competing theories of dark matter and dark energy
Scientists propose a modified cosmological model that challenges the existence of dark matter and dark energy.
Quantum tunneling may have ruled out a popular theory of dark matter
The composition of dark matter remains a mystery, but a new theory involving quantum tunneling may have eliminated some candidates.
Could dark matter be measured around black holes?
Dark matter could be aggregating around black holes, providing a possible means of indirectly measuring its properties.
The surprising influence of shape on twisted graphene
Scientists are exploring the behavior of electrons in helicoidal graphene strips, a unique form of graphene with a twisted shape.
Modified theory of gravity eliminates the need for dark energy
Many physicists are still skeptical that dark energy can fully explain gravity, and are therefore exploring alternative theories.
Galaxy clusters help confirm the Standard Model of Cosmology
Comparing simulated X-ray emissions from galaxy clusters to real observations provides support for the Standard Model of Cosmology.
