but we have never been able to directly see it. And it’s no minor thing—currently, scientists think it makes up about 85% of all the mass in the universe.
On the grandest scales, the Universe forms a vast, web-like structure. Galaxies group into clusters, connected by thin, thread-likefilaments, with large empty voids in between. Both the clusters and filaments are composed of dark matter as well as regular matter, such as gas and galaxies....
This revolution will be completed in the next two decades, when observatories on the ground and in space will survey the GW Universe across the frequency spectrum, from the kilo-Hz down to the nano-Hz. In the 0.3–104Hz window, third-generation (3G) ground-based detectors, such as the E...
interactions of various BSM resonances. Many of these resonances exhibit enhanced couplings with the top quark, contributing to a final state rich in top quarks at the LHC. Over the past decade, considerable efforts have been made in the literature to develop effective methods for efficiently disti...
Bahcall (Professor at Princeton University), "Cosmology has revealed an amazing universe, filled with a "dark sector" that composes 95% of the energy density of our cosmos [...]" (Dark matter universe, PNAS, 2015). About one-third of this dark sector is associated to an invisible and ...
Ruthie is back to her sarcastic, master gardener self. While we would never claim it’s from Edd’s Energy Healing, the timing sure is curious. Edd Edwards – Bio-Intrinsic Resonant Energy (©B.I.R.E.) I am Edd Edwards, the research subject featured on the History Channel’s Ancient...
(10+) or Steven Universe (10+). For fantasy shows where the natural world gives you superpowers, we love Avatar (13+), Legend of Korra (8+), and Dragon Prince (10+).And for older kids who love animated shows, Polly suggests some classics like Bob's Burgers (13+), The Simpsons ...
Like SNO+, such detectors would still need to be very clean of any radioactivity, large (SNO+ contains 1,000 tons of water), and able to detect the tiny amount of light that the neutrinos produce. The use of water, however, means that very large detectors are possible and a real optio...
The SM itself raises the question of naturalness, i.e. why the Electroweak scale is so much smaller than the Planck scale, which is addressed by Supersymmetry (SUSY) in an elegant way. The observation of Dark Matter (DM) in the Universe, interpreted as a fundamental particle, can be ...
the vacuum instability problem, as well as experimental inconsistencies like the nonzero neutrino masses and mixing, the baryon asymmetry of the universe, the presence of cold dark matter (DM) in the universe, and various flavour anomalies—have led to a plethora of theories or models going beyo...
