BASE tests antimatter’s dark side
Working at CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator, the international BASE team has set the first laboratory limits on the interaction between antimatter and dark-matter axions
Black-hole snap scoops 2020 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics
The $3 million prize will be shared equally between 347 researchers who were co-authors of the six papers published by the EHT collaboration on 10 April.
Black-hole image constrains ultra-light dark matter
The inferred mass, spin and age of M87* are incompatible with the existence of fuzzy dark matter with masses of the order of a few 10-21 eV.
Interdisciplinary physics at the AEDGE
Cold-atom interferometry could fill a gap in observational capability for gravitational waves in the intermediate-frequency band.
Colliders join the hunt for dark energy
The ATLAS collaboration carried out a first collider search for light scalar particles that could contribute to the accelerating expansion of the universe.
Report summarises dark-sector exploration
ATLAS has recently released a summary gathering the results from more than 20 experimental searches for dark matter and a first collider search for dark energy.
The deepest clean lab in the world
The great depth and cleanliness of SNOLAB allows the study of extremely rare interactions and weak processes.
Defeating the background in the search for dark matter
A global effort is under way to carry out a complete search for high-mass dark-matter particles using an experiment called DarkSide-20k.
CMS looks into the dark
If dark-QCD mediators were produced in pairs in the CMS detector, their signature would be striking.
Search for WISPs gains momentum
Interest is growing in new experiments that probe dark-matter candidates such as axions and other very weakly interacting sub-eV particles.
