Scientists studying a mysterious effect called cosmic birefringence—a subtle twist in the polarization of the universe’s oldest light—have developed a new way to reduce uncertainty in how it’s ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Quantum materials, astronomy, and life sciences research at UBC got a major boost with the latest round of Canada Foundation ...

Chinese scientists have engineered a clock so accurate it could lead to a redefinition of the second and an ultraprecise global time standard. The new optical clock is so accurate that it loses or ...

Astronomers working with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have produced the sharpest wide-area map of dark matter ever assembled, more than doubling the resolution of previous efforts built on Hubble ...

A team of astronomers have conducted a study that has lifted the veil on a nearly 100 year mystery that explains an odd dark ...

Forces have mediator particles. Electromagnetism is mediated by the photons, for example. So most of the decay of this excited dark matter particle would be this unknown mediator. The excited state ...

Gerko has donated to numerous science- and maths-focused projects over the years. He is co-funding the development of a sky telescope at the University of North Carolina, donated $10mn to two groups ...

Different skin discolorations necessitate targeted treatments. Acne marks, pigmentation, and tanning respond to specific ingredients like niacinamide.

Using the 10-meter Hobby-Eberly Telescope in the US, astronomers have detected a subtle, hidden glow from 9 to 11 billion ...

Astronomers have created an enormous 3D map of the universe revealing a glowing “sea of light” from hydrogen gas during the cosmic dawn nearly 11 billion years ago.

A distributed intercity network of quantum sensors is placing additional constraints on the parameters that axionic dark matter could have. (Courtesy: USTC) A new of way of searching for dark-matter ...
