Physicists tighten the net on elusive dark matter

University of California - Santa Barbara
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector, LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), have narrowed down the possibilities for one of the leading dark matter candidates: weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs).

Modeling the health impact of discontinuing COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy in the US

JAMA Network
Peer-Reviewed Publication

About The Study: This decision analytical model study estimates that COVID-19 vaccination (primarily annual COVID-19 vaccination) during pregnancy will likely continue to yield meaningful public health benefits in the U.S., especially to reduce COVID-19 hospitalizations in infants. COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy has been shown to be safe. While there is global variation in policy recommending COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy, the U.S. has a high risk of severe COVID-19 in newborns, underscoring relevance of maternal COVID-19 vaccination.

Laboratory breakthrough recreating star formation mechanism wins prestigious John Dawson Award

Princeton University
Grant and Award Announcement

A team from the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and Princeton University is the winner of the prestigious 2025 John Dawson Award for becoming the first scientists to conduct a series of lab experiments successfully recreating the cosmic wobbling mechanism that enables the formation of stars, planets and supermassive black holes.

Kyushu University launches Quantum and Spacetime Research Institute

Kyushu University
Business Announcement

On October 1, 2025, Kyushu University will launch the Quantum and Spacetime Research Institute, a new hub dedicated to researching the unexplored frontier between quantum science and space science. Bringing together researchers from inside and outside the university, the institute will foster interdisciplinary collaboration, advancing both fundamental and applied science.

New framework puts forward a general way to describe physics from the perspective of a quantum system

Université libre de Bruxelles

In an article published in Communications Physics, researchers from the Université libre de Bruxelles and the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information in Vienna present a new framework for describing physics relative to quantum reference frames, unveiling the importance of previously unrecognised “extra particles”.

Astronomy breakthrough: The mystery of dark matter can be unraveled using radio telescopes

Tel-Aviv University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new study from Tel Aviv University has predicted, for the first time, the groundbreaking results that can be obtained from detecting radio waves coming to us from the early Universe. The findings show that during the cosmic dark ages, dark matter formed dense clumps throughout the Universe, which pulled in hydrogen gas and caused it to emit intense radio waves. This leads to a novel method to use the measured radio signals to help resolve the mystery of dark matter.
