What Exactly is the (dark) Matter with Euclid?

Artist impression of the Euclid mission in space. The spacecraft is white and gold and consists of three main elements: a flat sunshield, a large cylinder where the light from space will enter, and a 'boxy' bottom containing the instruments. The spacecraft is shown half in the shadow, because the sunshield will always be...

Building a “Quantum Heat Pump” To Search For Elusive Dark Matter

Scientists have developed a heat pump that uses light particles on a quantum range. Scientists can currently measure radio frequency signals closer to the quantum limit. Professionals say this technique works in searching for dark matter, a component of the universe whose existence is discernible primarily by its gravitational attraction. 30.1 percent of the...

A Particle New To Physics Could Solve the Dark Matter Mystery

Anomalies in nuclear physics experiments may show signs of a new force. A team of scientists in Hungary currently published a paper that hints at the presence of a previously unknown subatomic particle. The group first reported finding traces of the particle in 2016, and they now report more traces in a different experiment. If the...

International Observatories Unite to Solve Energy Crisis on Jupiter

In this image, Jupiter is shown in visible light for context underneath an artistic impression of the Jovian upper atmosphere’s infrared glow. The brightness of this upper atmosphere layer corresponds to temperatures, from hot to cold, in this order: white, yellow, bright red and lastly, dark red. The aurorae are the hottest regions and...

Pristine Hubble Image Shows an Exciting Exchange Between Two Galaxies

Arp 282. (ESA/Hubble & NASA, J. Dalcanton, Dark Energy Survey, DOE, FNAL/DECam, CTIO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA, SDSS, J. Schmidt) The recurring interaction between two galaxies 320 million light-years away has been recorded in a spectacular Hubble picture. They are collectively named Arp 282 in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. They feature a large barred spiral galaxy called NGC 169, approximately 140,000 light-years across, and a considerably...
