LZ Dark Matter Detector Moves Forward
Underground experiment passes critical DOE review and prepares for startup in 2020.
Fermi Researchers Explore New Ways of Searching for Dark Matter
Three recent studies using data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have expanded the hunt for unexplained signals coming from beyond our galaxy.
Symmetry: Dark Matter Hopes Dwindle with X-ray Signal
A previously detected, anomalously large X-ray signal is absent in new Hitomi satellite data, setting tighter limits for a dark matter interpretation.
Symmetry: The Contents of the Universe
How do scientists know what percentages of the universe are made up of dark matter and dark energy?
Lost Satellite Revealed Black Hole Stirring Cosmic Brew, Thwarting Star Formation
Before Hitomi died, it sent back X-ray data that explain how turbulent motions may prevent cooling of hot gas.
Learning About the Future from the Distant Past
Computer models predict how the first clumps of matter formed – and what our universe's future holds.
SLAC’s New Computer Science Division Teams with Stanford to Tackle Data Onslaught
Finding ways to handle torrents of data from LSST and LCLS-II will also advance “exascale” computing.
Q&A: Hitomi Researchers Talk About the X-ray Satellite’s Tragic End and the Data It Sent Home
KIPAC researchers mourn the loss of the Hitomi spacecraft but are thrilled about the data it was still able to capture.
KIPAC Physicists Help Discover Hidden Dwarf Dark Galaxy
The discovery supports a powerful tool for discovering galaxies that are otherwise too distant to observe, and could lead to advances that improve our understanding of dark matter.
New Satellite with Superior X-ray Vision Launched
It will provide new insights into the physics of black holes, the formation of chemical elements, stars and galaxies, and the evolution of the universe itself.
