New look at 'Einstein rings' around distant galaxies just got us closer to solving the dark matter debate
Physicists believe most of the matter in the universe is made up of an invisible substance that we only know about by its indirect effects on the stars and galaxies we can see.

Plans are underway to build a 30-cubic-kilometer neutrino telescope
How do astronomers look for neutrinos? These small, massless particles whiz through the universe at very close to the speed of light. They've been studied since the 1950s and detecting them provides work for a range of very ...

On the track of the Big Bang: The most sensitive detector for measuring radioactivity is now in Dresden
What is dark matter? What are neutrinos all about? How do stars work and what was actually going on in the universe in the first minutes after the Big Bang? To answer these questions, you need very sensitive detectors and ...

Researchers measure boron flux in high-energy cosmic rays with the CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET)
Cosmic rays (CR) constitute high-energy particles that mainly originate outside our solar system. These primary CR interact with interstellar matter to produce secondary CR. The secondary nature of their origin is reflected ...
