Scientists are closing in on the Universe’s biggest mystery
Nearly everything in the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy, yet we can’t see either of them directly.
What’s Happening
Here’s the thing: Nearly everything in the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy, yet we can’t see either of them directly.
Scientists are developing detectors so sensitive they can spot particle interactions that might occur once in years or even decades. These experiments aim to uncover what shapes galaxies and fuels cosmic expansion. (and honestly, same)
Cracking this mystery could transform our understanding of the laws of nature.
The Details
Science News A MINER detector that is used to search for low-energy neutrinos at the Texas A&M TRIGA reactor. This sapphire detector can be used for both dark matter searches and for detection of reactor neutrinos that can not only provide evidence of new physics but also enable nuclear non-proliferation.
