Detecting dark matter, the invisible substance thought to keep galaxies intact, remains one of the most enduring mysteries in physics. Although it cannot be directly observed or touched, researchers suspect that dark matter leaves behind faint traces. These subtle signals might be detectable using advanced quantum technologies that can senseContinue Reading

For the first time, researchers at Tel Aviv University have predicted what might be discovered by detecting radio waves that originated in the early Universe. Their results suggest that during the “cosmic dark ages,” dark matter gathered into dense clumps across space, pulling in hydrogen gas that emitted intense radioContinue Reading

In a world-first, researchers from the Femtosecond Spectroscopy Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have directly observed the evolution of the elusive dark excitons in atomically thin materials, laying the foundation for new breakthroughs in both classical and quantum information technologies. Their findings have been publishedContinue Reading

An international research collaboration has used advanced computer simulations to investigate how faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon to be observed from missions on the far side of the Moon, could shed light on the fundamental properties of dark matter, reports a new study published in Nature AstronomyContinue Reading
