A team has developed the first method to find out. It considers a never-before-used measure: time distortion. Thu, 22 Jun 2023 12:09:24 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/06/230622120924.htm Astronomers discover new link between dark matter and clumpiness of the universe //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/06/230614220651.htm Researchers reveal a theoretical breakthrough that may explain both the nature of invisible dark matter and the large-scale structure of the universe known as the cosmic web. The result establishes a new link between these two longstanding problems in astronomy, opening new possibilities for understanding the cosmos. The research suggests that the 'clumpiness problem,' which centres on the unexpectedly even distribution of matter on large scales throughout the cosmos, may be a sign that dark matter is composed of hypothetical, ultra-light particles called axions. The implications of proving the existence of hard-to-detect axions extend beyond understanding dark matter and could address fundamental questions about the nature of the universe itself.

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 13:09:43 EST //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/01/230131130943.htm Hubble finds that ghost light among galaxies stretches far back in time //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/01/230104135620.htm In giant clusters of hundreds or thousands of galaxies, innumerable stars wander among the galaxies like lost souls, emitting a ghostly haze of light. These stars are not gravitationally tied to any one galaxy in a cluster. The nagging question for astronomers has been: how did the stars get so scattered throughout the cluster in the first place? Several competing theories include the possibility that the stars were stripped out of a cluster's galaxies, or they were tossed around after mergers of galaxies, or they were present early in a cluster's formative years many billions of years ago.

But then, as space expanded, the universe cooled. Today's universe is full of galaxies and stars which are made of matter. Where did the antimatter go, and how did matter come to dominate the universe? This cosmic origin of matter continues to puzzle scientists. Physicists have now opened a new pathway for probing the cosmic origin of matter by invoking the 'cosmological collider.'

Fri, 26 Aug 2022 14:17:53 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/08/220826141753.htm Signs of disturbance in nearby dwarf galaxies indicate an alternative gravity theory //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/08/220805103724.htm According to the standard model of cosmology, the vast majority of galaxies are surrounded by a halo of dark matter particles. This halo is invisible, but its mass exerts a strong gravitational pull on galaxies in the vicinity. A new study challenges this view of the Universe. The results suggest that the dwarf galaxies of Earth's second closest galaxy cluster -- known as the Fornax Cluster -- are free of such dark matter halos.

Thu, 30 Jun 2022 16:00:31 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/06/220630160031.htm Physicists confront the neutron lifetime puzzle //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/06/220628170142.htm To solve a long-standing puzzle about how long a neutron can 'live' outside an atomic nucleus, physicists entertained a wild but testable theory positing the existence of a right-handed version of our left-handed universe. They designed a mind-bending experiment to try to detect a particle that has been speculated but not spotted. If found, the theorized 'mirror neutron' -- a dark-matter twin to the neutron -- could explain a discrepancy between answers from two types of neutron lifetime experiments and provide the first observation of dark matter.

Thu, 03 Mar 2022 11:20:14 EST //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/03/220303112014.htm New simulations refine axion mass, refocusing dark matter search //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/02/220225085845.htm Axions are today's most popular candidate for dark matter, and numerous experiments are trying to detect them in microwave cavities where the axion should rarely convert into an electromagnetic wave. But a new simulation of the production of axions in the early universe provides a more refined mass estimate, and higher frequency for the EM wave, that is outside the range of these experiments. The new mass comes from adaptive mesh refinement in supercomputer simulations.

Thu, 17 Feb 2022 13:47:44 EST //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/02/220217134744.htm Ultraprecise atomic clock poised for new physics discoveries //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/02/220216112210.htm Physicists have made one of the highest performance atomic clocks ever. Their instrument, known as an optical lattice atomic clock, can measure differences in time to a precision equivalent to losing just one second every 300 billion years and is the first example of a 'multiplexed' optical clock, where six separate clocks can exist in the same environment. Its design allows the team to test ways to search for gravitational waves, attempt to detect dark matter, and discover new physics with clocks.
