Fermi Satellite Observes Billionth Gamma Ray with LAT Instrument
Sensitive gamma-ray “eye” on NASA’s Fermi space telescope continues to provide unprecedented views of violent phenomena in the cosmos.
Origin of Milky Way’s Hypothetical Dark Matter Signal May Not Be So Dark
An excess of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way, previously discussed as a sign of dark matter, is likely caused by the superdense remains of ancient stars.
Symmetry: Dark Matter Next Door? (Q&A)
Astrophysicists Eric Charles and Mattia Di Mauro discuss the surprising glow of our neighbor galaxy.
Symmetry: 2016 year in particle physics
Scientists furthered studies of the Higgs boson, neutrinos, dark matter, dark energy and cosmic inflation and continued the search for undiscovered particles, forces and principles.
Symmetry: In Search of a Parallel Universe
What are parallel universes, and why do we think they might exist?
