Specifically, the Antipas team used their experiments to search for a class of dark matter known as ultralight dark matter. At their heaviest, ultra-bright dark matter particles are still about a trillion times lighter than electrons. According to quantum mechanics, all matter has both particle-like and wave-like qualities, with larger objects typically having more particle-like qualities and smaller ones having more wave-like qualities. “When people talk about ultra-bright dark matter, they mean that dark matter is more like a wave,” said physicist Kathryn Zurek of the California Institute of Technology, who was not involved in the experiment. Like all other dark matter experiments so far, the Antipas search has found nothing. However, the absence of their discovery helps limit the properties of dark matter, as experiments show what dark matter is not. Also, the team’s approach differs from that of the more famous dark matter experiment, which looks for particles known as WIMPs (

Ben Hunt pulled off another masterclass as the Dragons beat the Sea Eagles before the Roosters returned to the last eight thanks to a big win over Newcastle. See all the live scores and stats below. St George Illawarra Dragons 20 def Manly Sea Eagles 6 Ben Hunt has revived St George Illawarra’s NRL season, scoring two tries to help the Dragons to a crucial 20-6 win over Manly. In a virtual four-point play for both teams, Hunt crossed twice in the first half to lead the Dragons to a 14-0 lead at the break at the Kogarah Oval. Spoiled by COVID-19 and having lost two more players to injury just before halftime, the Sea Eagles scored early in the second half to threaten on the counter-attack. But they could not capitalize on better possession in the second half, leaving the Sea Eagles on the verge of being knocked out of the last eight. The Dragons’ win came the same week pressure was mounting on coach Anthony Griffin, amid unhappy dressing room claims. But they now find themselves at 9-9

The parents of the slain 13-year-old Queensland schoolboy, Daniel Morcombe, criticized the producers of the new Australian film, saying the film “made money on heinous crimes” and “dishonoured” their son. Key points: Released at the Cannes Film Festival in May, The Stranger features actor Joel Edgerton as an undercover police officer. Bruce and Denise Morcombe dismiss the idea the film is fictional and say it’s ‘so sad’ Melbourne International Film Festival says the film is ‘a strong work by a respected Australian director’ The Stranger is a dramatization of the decade-long investigation that led to the arrest of the teenage killer, Brett Peter Cowan. The film’s producers said it was a “fictional account of an undercover police operation that resulted in a successful murder prosecution”. The film, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May, follows two strangers who meet on a plane and become friends. “For Henry Teague (actor Sean Harris), exhausted from a lifetime of physical la

Deep in an old gold mine, in a vat of molten xenon, a new hunt has begun for dark matter — the mysterious thing that makes up about 85% of all matter in the universe. No one knows what dark matter actually is. Scientists know it exists because they can measure how its gravity affects distant galaxies, but they have never detected it directly. That’s the goal of a new experiment buried deep beneath Lead, South Dakota: to capture dark matter as it interacts with other particles. This experiment is called LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ for short. This is a 10-ton vat of pure liquid xenon, equipped with a detector to capture the very faint energy flashes that will come from dark matter particles colliding with xenon atoms. The researchers announced Thursday that it was online and ready to search for new particles. “Dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries of particle physics today,” said Hugh Lippincott, spokesman for the LZ team of 250 scientists, in a live announcement.
